BBC Proms Announce ‘Flexible’ Plans For Two Weeks Of Live Concerts

After six weeks of “fantasy Proms” consisting mostly of rebroadcasts from previous years’ festivals, the hope is to present live performances (without live audiences) in the Royal Albert Hall from Aug. 28 through the Last Night on Sept. 12. But “organisers … are having to devise multiple programmes for every concert, because of uncertainties over how many performers will be allowed on stage due to the coronavirus pandemic. … Conductor Sakari Oramo says he is currently planning ‘four different options’ for the first night.” – BBC
