Whether concerts, plays, readings or conversations: culture has shifted to the Internet, also in our region.

The Rolling Stones do, Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan do too. Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish are there, as are David Garrett, Lang Lang, die Ärzte or Milky Chance. Udo Lindenberg paints against the virus, Patti Smith, Johnny Depp and Michael Stipe create “Earth Day” and Anthony Hopkins plays the piano for the cat. But what the big stars around the world can do online has long been something that artists and culture professionals in the Rhine-Main region can do. Whether musicians, artists, actors, stages, clubs, museums or organizers: Many of them are online, streaming, chatting, posting videos, giving concerts or offering courses. Many fear for their existence, but most offers are free. Culture currently happens almost exclusively online, worldwide and also with us. The FR has put together a selection of offers from the region.
