Infections of the new coronavirus are spreading gradually to Europe, mainly in Italy. This is starting to affect the European music scene.

The conductor, Myung-Whun Chung, will no longer be able to conduct a concert at the Florence Opera scheduled for March 7.

The Italian government, which regards Japan as an infected area equivalent to China, requires a 14-day health monitoring period for visitors.

Chong entered Italy on February 25 after conducting the Carmen performance of the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra.

Switzerland bans events that attract more than 1,000 people.

The Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra led by Teodor Currentzis, abandoned the performance in Switzerland and moved to Spain.

On the other hand, musicians are also posting to SNS and so on.

Daniele Callegari, who had planned to conduct opera in Tel Aviv, was refused entry to Israel after Israel had designated Italy as an affected area.
