"The screenings [of cinema] and shows will have to end at 9:00 p.m., people will be able to return home with their ticket, serving as a safe-conduct or proof [proof in time of curfew] but there will be no flexibility on the end of the show;

opera, theater or cinema, ”

said the politician.

Previously, the Minister had indicated that, since

, the reopening from December 15 of the venues will be done with "the rules of physical distancing by groups of six, respect for barrier gestures , wearing a mask during the entire session, making hydro-alcoholic gel available ”.

"It will of course be a great pleasure to be able to return to the cinema, the theater, the opera and rediscover the emotion of the stage or the big screen"

, concluded Roselyne Bachelot.

But the minister has still not said a word about current music concerts.

This sector is one of the hardest hit by the health crisis, since standing concerts are still prohibited and large gauges, such as Bercy or Zenith, still banned.

“Too many entertainment companies will not be able to restart on December 15 (...).

Likewise, if the rooms are open but the producers are not able to produce their shows there, there will be no recovery, only the illusion of a recovery ”

, denounces in a press release the Prodiss, national union of musical and variety shows in the private sector.

"The performing arts need visibility on the next stages of the recovery for all the shows, whatever their characteristics and their size (rooms bringing together more than 1,000 people, standing gauges, tours, festivals)"

, concludes this representative body.

The cinemas which, after the announcements of Emmanuel Macron, thought that the 8 p.m. screening would be saved, thanks in particular to the time stamp mentioned by the President of the Republic, will therefore have to organize themselves so that the public is out to 21 hours.

This will inevitably reduce the number of sessions during the day.
