They like to call Dan Ettinger the rock star conductor for his rakish shock of spiky blonde hair.
The truth, however, is that Ettinger currently back in his hometown for the April 30 opening of “Die Fledermaus,” the first opera being performed in more than a year isn’t much of a rock ‘n roller, despite his tasteful leather-strung necklace, chunky silver ring and that hair.

The project aims to highlight the effects of social distancing, according to the artist, and involved dancers clambering into uninflated plastic sacks which were then blown up around them.
As no air can enter the bubbles, performers could only pose for photos for a maximum of 15 minutes.
The photography project, entitled Social Distance Stacks, also featured the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra performing a piece while enclosed in individual bubbles. I wanted to highlight the main problem of this social distance, this isolation that affects us, this very painful cut, said Mehnert. I asked myself, how could I show that someone feels isolated? I thought, we are all in a certain isolation, in an isolated bubble, which we are not allowed to leave. I could show people who’re allowed to be in their bubbles, but who cannot get close to others.
