Abstract

This article is devoted to the modern history of performing arts during the pandemic. It examines the activities of authorities and theaters, concert organizations and concert organizers from XNUMX to mid-XNUMX. Countries plunged into self-isolation. The cultural sphere has been restructured, cultural contacts minimized, while video communication systems have evolved into virtual platforms in homes. The artists, left without full-fledged "live" concerts and performances were distressed. Halls could be accessed by documents and in very limited numbers. The article discusses two fundamental documents prepared by Rospotrebnadzor and appeared during this period: "Recommendations for Implementation of Measures Aimed at Prevention of the Spread of the New Coronavirus Infection (COVID-XNUMX) When Performing Activities of Theaters and Concert Organisations" and "On Measures to Limit the Spread of a New Coronavirus Infection (COVID-XNUMX) on the Territory of the Russian Federation in Cases of Mass Events". Both documents were intensively discussed at various forums of performing arts managers in Russia.
