The Sydney Opera House will resume its performances and is preparing to welcome spectators - who will wear protective masks. The premiere of the "Die lustige Witwe" (Merry Widow) will take place on Tuesday in front of a limited number of spectators.
This is a sign of hope for the entertainment industry, which has been at a standstill since March last year.
Indoor performances have not been strictly banned in recent months, but the opera did not open its doors to the public.
