I refuse to accept the phrase "the new normal", with its implication that we must accept a permanent, rather than a temporary, change to how we live and interact. All the same, with museums, art galleries, theatres and concert halls worldwide locked up or shut down, from the perspective of having access to art, drama and music, the person living in the centre of New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Rome or Broken Hill is, just at the moment, in exactly the same position.
At least that was the case until 5 June. But, hurray, the Vienna Philharmonic held a concert with a socially distanced audience at the Musikverein in Vienna - at last, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
