Prof. Ulf Schirmer, Intendant and General Music Director of the Oper Leipzig, sees this additional opportunity to get vaccinated and receive consultation positively, nothing that both are concrete measures to combat the acute corona situation. He says, “We are very pleased that the Oper Leipzig can support the effort against the pandemic in this way. A high vaccination rate, which is a sign of solidarity, is the first step in ensuring a lasting cultural coming-together.” The German Red Cross (DRK) and the Municipal Entities Engelsdorf (KEE) have already conducted a trial run with employees of the Oper Leipzig and the City of Leipzig, to test out operational workflow and verify that the spatial requirements for vaccinations and consultation at the Opera House are met. Lydia Schubert, Administrative Director at the Oper Leipzig, welcomed among other representatives the head of Leipzig’s Public Health Office, Dr. Regine Krause-Döring, to the Opera House. Schubert notes, “Medicine and music coming here together to combat this dangerous virus is a hopeful sign: Leipzig is on the move and getting vaccinated, and in doing so, is helping safeguard culture and live performance.”
