The first performance affected by this is the bat scheduled for today, January 1st, at 6.30 p.m., informed the State Opera. “We will do everything we can to resume play on January 6th,” emphasized State Opera Director Bogdan Ro ?? cić.
“The State Opera has been fighting with Corona for almost two years and has not canceled a single performance so far, unless it was lockdown,” said Ro ?? cić. This path has become more and more difficult in the past few weeks. According to Ro ?? cić, more than 85 percent of the opera’s workforce has been vaccinated three times, and PCR tests are carried out at least three times a week. “But the working conditions, especially in the artistic groups, playing, singing, dancing and making music together make complete protection impossible,” said the director.
Under the signs of Omikron, the speed and intensity of the infection would have increased dramatically. The aim is to be able to play again from January 6th through this interruption of gaming operations and a further tightening of security measures, emphasized Ro ?? cić, who apologized to all the visitors concerned for the inconvenience.
The opera foyer with the federal theater box office will remain open, and tours of the house will continue to be offered. “The tickets will of course be refunded,” it said in a broadcast.
