COVID 19 HEALTH PROTOCOL – FESTIVAL 2021 RECOMMENDATIONS

Measures guaranteeing the health safety of all, public, artists, festival teams, are implemented so that the festival takes place in the best conditions by establishing a strict protocol that can be adapted according to the evolution of the rules decided by the health and administrative authorities.

All people wishing to attend the operas and concerts of the 39th edition of the festival must be able to present a health pass, either:

> a vaccination certificate with 1 or 2 injections depending on the vaccine

> a negative PCR or antigen test of less than 48 hours
– in electronic format, via a certified and encrypted QR code system directly displaying the proof
– either in paper format incorporating a QR code, printable by the healthcare professional performing the test or vaccination, or printable by the user

Depending on the vaccines, the rules set by the Scientific Council are as follows:

Pfizer> 7 days after the 2nd injection
Moderna> 7 days after the 2nd injection
AstraZeneca> 7 days after the 2nd injection
Johnson and Johnson (1 single dose)> 28 days after injection
Vaccine in people who have already been sick with Covid-19 (1 single dose)> 7 days after the injection

> If you do not already have your health pass, you can go to a pharmacy the day before your concert to perform an antigen test and thus obtain your health pass very easily and quickly. Please note that this must be done 48 hours maximum before the time of the show (the time of the sample is taken as proof)! Example: my show takes place on July 21 at 9 p.m., my test must have been taken AFTER 9 p.m. on July 19

> for foreign music lovers who are nationals of these other European countries or of countries outside Europe, the vaccination certificates in paper format must be accompanied by an identity document. Please note, the conditions remain the same: it is necessary to present proof of a complete vaccination schedule. Be sure to check that you have respected the time required after your 2nd injection (see the details of the time limits by type of vaccine in the FAQ note. For foreigners who have not been vaccinated, it is still compulsory: to carry out an antigen test in a pharmacy (results in a few minutes, for a fee) or to go to an analysis laboratory to perform an RT-PCR test (result the next day, for a fee).

> Wearing a mask and barrier gestures must be respected as well as the axes of circulation so that the public do not cross each other.

NB: No ticket refund can be requested in the event of non-presentation of a valid HEALTH PASS.

We ask to all music lovers to arrive at the concert venue at 8 p.m., when the doors open, so as to streamline the entrances and allow the concert to begin at 9 p.m..

We thank you for your understanding and are very happy to gather around our common passion for opera and the exceptional artists who perform it.
