"The coronavirus has forced the world’s most renowned cultural
institutions to shut their doors, from the Louvre in Paris to the
Suntory Hall in Tokyo. Many are finding ways to keep their offerings
alive online, like the Metropolitan Opera in New York, which is
streaming free nightly broadcasts of past performances. (Tonight:
Verdi’s Il Trovatore, conducted by Marco Armiliato).
But some of the most crowd-pleasing ways that arts and culture are
finding a new life online are being propelled not by major institutions,
but by the artists who keep them filled. Pajama-clad Facebook duets by
suddenly out-of-work singers, modern dance pieces performed in empty
rehearsal spaces, TikTok-style virtual raves put on by housebound DJs —
in these performances, the truism that creativity flourishes within
constraints shines through."
