The Athens Festival announced on Monday the cancellation of the concert of the concert of Monteverdi Choir – English Baroque Soloists directed by famous conductor John Eliot Gardiner.
“We are sorry to inform you that the concert of Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists directed by John Eliot Gardiner, which was scheduled for July 2 at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, is canceled, the statement said.
“The travel restrictions that still apply due to Covid-19, make it impossible for the ensemble to visit our country,” the statement added.
Most likely the reason are the UK travel restrictions for countries like Greece that are still on the Amber List and they provide several days quarantine and additional PCR tests for those returning to the country.
Ticket holders will be notified by the Athens Epidaurus Festival for refund.
