| If you think the deals are fair, we can be assured that the artists and laborers are getting the poor end of the deal. But, hey, at least they get one day off a week! (And UK, at least, has health insurance.) Also, the experiences of film and TV production have proven to the American entertainment industry that there are reasonably safe ways of following Covid protocols and ensuring the safety of all involved. So no, Americans wouldn't be shocked to see that an orchestra can play music safely SO LONG AS THERE IS NOT AN AUDIENCE that might spread the disease. Ryhog hit some of the other points of nonsense very well. But whatever, keep ranting, we know who's really doing the planting. |

| an orchestra can play music safely SO LONG AS THERE IS NOT AN AUDIENCE And they're doing pieces for smaller ensembles, or chamber arrangements, or paring down from typical string sections. And spacing out the players in ways that would be difficult with an audience in the hall. I've heard a lot of concerts on BBC Radio 3, and they're all tossing out their planned programs to adapt. (And that's another difficulty for US ensembles: weak national/regional broadcasting. Even if our ensembles could reprogram and assemble to suit applicable guidelines, most have no guaranteed broadcast outlet and would be on their own for the technical aspects. Few have an existing apparatus to reach an audience outside their hall.) |
