Making Of

It was a particularly poignant moment when the Berliner Philharmoniker and chief conductor Kirill Petrenko stepped onto the stage of the Philharmonie Berlin on 20 March. An audience of 1000 was able to attend - more than ever since the corona-related closure of the Philharmonie a year ago. There have been regular broadcasts in the Digital Concert Hall, but mostly to empty seats, which made this reunion all the more enjoyable for the orchestra and the audience. The fact that such a concert was possible at all was thanks to special hygiene and security measures. Each of the 1000 visitors was tested for corona on the day of the concert, and mandatory masks and distancing rules applied.
The concert was presented as part of the pilot project “Perspektive Kultur”, developed by the Senate Department for Culture and Europe in association with various cultural institutions. In our short documentary you can relive this special project, from the complex preparations to the rejoicing on the evening of the concert.

I hope one day I can go there.

Me too!!

In my country, many concerts are held everyday (Half of seats are available). Listening to music without any words is considered safe in my country. But shouting "Bravo!" is prohibited because speaking in loud voice could be a factor of infection spreaded.It's interesting that countermeasures for corona virus are quite different from country to country.

Are such events commercially viable at all?

[@berlinphil]

Dear @Robert Schrey, the aim of this project was to test the logistical and practical feasibility of events in conjunction with SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing. The commercial viability however, is an entirely different matter.

To be tested to go to a concert?!? Never, I stay at home where I play for myself... And I go walking in the woods, alone but free.

@@AriataBarbara I don't get your point of view. It was a normal concert, there was noting against freedom.

@@bikeb7286 freedom Is breathing freely, it's seeing smiles, it's seat next to my friends during a concert... And not to be to a hospital for a test before going in... Do you unferstand? Not possibile?!? I stay at home

[@bikeb7286]

@@AriataBarbara First of all: u don't go into a hospital for a short test, there are local test center in the near (have you even seen the documentary?). On the other side: this argument is absolut nonsense, because you have to wearing your mask in every public space. Even if you buy your food. Or do you not even go to the supermarket anymore, because of "freedom"? You can never compare a concert experience with being alone, these are two different pairs of shoes. So your comment is just inappropriate. If you want to be alone, do that, but don't judge people accordingly for whom it means a bit of freedom to finally want to listen to live music from an orchestra again.
