Princess Beatrix looks so short in comparison to her grand daughters! Lovely to see them all, and dressed up.
But like Somebody I was surprised that they went ahead with this event while the theatres are still closed. After the Greek debacle one would expect them to be extra careful. Not that I personally have any problems with the concert. On the contrary, I am glad they pay attention to the cultural sector, while the government is not.
All was very safe,everyone tested and or was already vaccinated...OK...!
So no, I am not surprised at all.
Might be a nice sign for cultural life in NL....but being with a handfull at safe distance is hardly cosy and or fun,let alone a gala..But then ofcourse they had to highlight the work by Maxima for ,a.o. the very succesfull Music in the Clasroom project.
It shouldnt be special,I recall having music lessons started at elementary school,a weekly event for us kids...But then subsequent governments thought it not of that much importance,and less to no attention was given...as was the case with the rest of the dutch educational system...Kids know not halve what we had to know in our days,without multiple choice things...we HAD to know,or...not- and without any iPhone,tablet or device that looks it all up for you,the lazy generation thing.....
So glad music is back at school.
The Government follows the ` lead` by the infamous RIVM If they would hurry more and more accurate with the vaccination program,if one can call it that....Everything could be open again already,vaccination should be mandatory too,not a personal choice,no vaccination...no dice,so I am looking forward to a Vaccination Passport for cultural events,travels and real Royal Gala´s alike.
The concert will be aired on sunday evening on NPO1.
But Queen Maxima celebrates her birthday on May 17th. Why did she celebrate her birthday today?
They didnt,it was just a highlight for television on her work for Music in the Classroom.They did an interview,
a long interview with her and Matthijs van Nieuwkerk too on May 7th about Life,Love and Work,to be aired
monday the 17th,the actual date of her 50th birthday.
It is said to be a very deep interview,I think in the same category as HM interview with Wilfried de Jong on his 50th birthday.Something to really look forward to!!
