Gekürzte Mozartwoche im Stream mit zehn Konzerten
Die Mozartwoche in Salzburg wird Ende Januar in einem gekürzten Programm zehn hochkarätige Konzerte in digitaler Form bieten. Das Festival sei auf fünf Tage verkürzt worden und werde vom 27. bis 31. Januar auf der Klassikplattform fidelio gestreamt, teilte die Stiftung Mozarteum am Dienstag mit. Ausgewählte Produktionen würden im Fernsehen (ORF III, 3sat), im Radio Ö1 sowie über weitere Online-Portale weltweit ausgestrahlt.
„Wir haben das bereits adaptierte Programm nochmals behutsam eingedampft und zu einer Mozartwoche destilliert, die in ihrer Essenz und Qualität exemplarisch für die Einzigartigkeit dieses Mozart-Festivals steht“, sagte Intendant Rolando Villazón.

Yannick Nézet-Séguin écrit à Joe Biden
A la veille de l’investiture du nouveau président des États-Unis, Yannick Nézet-Séguin lui a écrit une lettre ainsi qu’à la future vice-présidente Kamala Harris. Bien que citoyen canadien, le chef a pris la plume en tant que directeur musical du Philadelphia Orchestra et du Metropolitan Opera. Il leur demande de donner la priorité à la Culture en cette période à la fois tumultueuse et dévastatrice économiquement, afin d’éduquer, unifier, faire du bien aux Américains.
L’impact de la pandémie est catastrophique sur les artistes et les acteurs du monde culturel, il faut que la nouvelle administration agisse rapidement, dit-il, demandant à ce qu’un membre du nouveau cabinet soit nommé pour se consacrer aux Arts et à la Culture.

He asks them to give priority to Culture in these tumultuous and economically devastating times, in order to educate, unify, and do good for Americans.
The impact of the pandemic is catastrophic on artists and cultural players, and the new administration must act quickly, he said, calling for a member of the new cabinet to be appointed to devote himself to Arts and Culture.
