02 The Musikverein in Vienna reopens
Following the announcement of the suspension in early March, Vienna's Musikverein announced plans for the June performance. It is reported that the performance venues strictly abide by the epidemic prevention and health requirements, and the audience is also required to wear masks to watch the performance.
Two of Austria's top orchestras, the Vienna Philharmonic and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, renowned conductors Barenboim, Muti, Moster, Philippe Jordan, pianist Buchbinder, and many renowned chamber orchestras and soloists will return to the Musikverein.
03 Thielemann and Dresden broke up
On 10 May, the Ministry of Culture of the German state of Saxony announced that the work of the Dresden State Orchestra and Christian Tillemann will end for the 2023-2024 season. As soon as the news came out, the contradictions between Thieleman and the theater due to the epidemic control measures once again aroused heated discussions.
In early 2021, Peter Theiler, manager of the Saxon State Opera, informed the orchestra and Thielemann that rehearsing a large-scale orchestra of symphonic works would increase the risk of infection and canceled the rehearsal program for Hero's Career, which caused strong dissatisfaction and disappointment among Thielemann and the orchestra director, who accused Taylor of obstructing normal work, while Taylor thought he was just doing his duty.
