In principle, it is desired that the singers are present at all rehearsals. In the case of pure choir rehearsals, however, it is permitted to be absent 1-2 times without consulting the choir director.
All singers are obliged to be present at the overall rehearsals with orchestra and soloists as well as the dress rehearsal immediately before the respective concert. It will be about only missing here in absolute exceptional cases and to coordinate the absence with Julia Mörtelmaier in advance.
No, sheet music does not have to be printed out or purchased yourself. The notes are prepared by the Salzburg Philharmonic and at the rehearsals issued or sent by email before the first rehearsal or made available for download.
Masks are not compulsory for all rehearsals until further notice, but the government's recommendation to wear a mask indoors still applies. There is no longer any obligation to test all samples until further notice, but we still welcome it if you do an antigen test before the samples.
Find the samples without mask and without mandatory minimum distance statt (Recommendation to keep your distance depending on the space available). We would like to point out that there is always a residual risk of infection, for which we at the Salzburg Philharmonic are not liable.

Damen: black long (also applies to women who sing tenor): This includes long black trousers and skirts with blouses/elegant tops and long dresses. Black dresses (at least above the knee length!) with black, opaque tights are also possible.
