The concert is announced on the Events page on the official Libera site since a couple of months.
As we all know, the concert was postponed several times, due to the difficulties created by the Covid context.
The concert first appeared on 10th January 2020 (read here) for a performance set on 6th June 2020.
Then it went postponed to 28th October 2020, then postponed again to 24th April 2021, and finally postponed to Saturday 21st May 2022.
The tickets that were already sold for the 1st date were also postponed at first, then they went cancelled when the concert was postponed for the last time .
New tickets will be required for the 2022 concert.
So far the concert is not yet published on the Ely Cathedral events page.
Should we be worried about a new postponement?
Difficult to say, but for my part I am confident.
First, if the concert should be held tomorrow, technically it could be.
Shows are permitted and we were fortunate to have a concert no later than last week.
Can the situation deteriorate between now and May?
Sure it can, but she can improve as well, and at the moment it is already better than it was on the previous concert dates.
Second, we have a good reference as example: the cathedral site offers another concert, by Aled Jones, scheduled for the month of March 2022.
This concert was also scheduled for 2020, a few days before the Libera concert, before to be also postponed.
The fact that this 2022 concert from Aled is still proposed on the site is a good sign.
This shows that both the organizer of Aled's tour and those in charge of the cathedral are confident the situation will be acceptable enough to receive the public.
if the conditions are right and finances allow.
I was SO LUCKY OMG !
Got a decent seat though. *phew*
