As some of us are continuing to stay at home to work, self-isolate and look after ourselves and the loved ones around us, things may be slowly opening up and going live around the world…
But suppose the music lovers among us are also lucky that many major classical concerts and events are being held without audiences and streamed online for us to see – and best of all, for free in many cases. It’s something that continues to bring comfort, solidarity and some beautiful relief in these very trying times…
So, if you’re looking for a bit of a musical boost to see you through the day ahead, here are some very interesting classical concerts and operas being live-streamed at absolutely no charge at all! Enjoy…
