Head of Gors: New relaxation of restrictions on gatherings will allow the concert hall to gather a wider range of visitors | BNN

The new easing of restrictions on the gathering of people will allow the Latgale Embassy Gors to gather a wider circle of visitors, said SIA Eastern Latvia Concert Hall manager Diāna Zirniņa.

She said that now the concert hall team is carefully familiar with the restrictions that remain in force, because every nuance is important when organizing events.

“We specify the number of chairs for sale that is possible under these conditions. The number will increase, however, we will not be able to restore the previous capacity for the time being and it is a big challenge, »said Zirniņa.

New amendments Ltd. Eastern Latvia Concert Hall welcomes the fact that every opportunity must be taken not to close the doors of any cultural institution or to abandon cultural activities.

Embassies of Latgale Gors The Large and Small halls are multifunctional with the possibility to change the number of seats, as well as to adjust the rooms for standing concerts.

The number of seats in the small hall reaches 220 seats, but by transforming the room, 1,500 parking spaces can be obtained. The capacity of the Great Hall is at least 1,000 seats, but the number of chairs can be increased by transforming the room. According to Zirniņa, taking into account the new amendments, the Great Hall will be able to accommodate about 500 people.

It was asked how cooperation with event producers, SIA is formed during this time Eastern Latvia Concert Hall The manager pointed out that mechanisms had been developed to provide support by offering to rent the hall at almost the cost of organizing two concerts instead of one.

“It must be said that we are all still in the boat. Regional concert halls operate as capital companies. This means that we cannot provide facilities for events free of charge. Mountain In this case, the share of economic income from organizing events and renting premises is very significant, »explained Zirniņa.

BE Eastern Latvia Concert Hall The chairwoman emphasized that the organizers of the event were in an unenviable situation, especially those who planned to fill the hall with a much larger number of visitors. The concert hall has taken a step in the opposite direction and is trying to encourage the planned events to take place on the scheduled dates and this year.

“We cannot allow the concert hall to have several empty months a year. The concert hall must be operational, as it must maintain both the building and the staff. We try to agree with each event producer separately. It is gratifying that several new events have also been announced, “said Zirniņa.

Embassies of Latgale Gors The head explained that the efforts to achieve the planned measures this year are closely related to concerns about possible changes in tax policy – if we return to the application of the value added tax (VAT) rate to cultural events, or change royalties, then another challenging year will be.

“In this case, we will not be able to offer premises for the relocated events at the current prices. We call on the organizers of the events to be understanding and try to implement the events planned for this year, so that next year there will be no unpleasant surprises due to the change in tax policy, “said Zirniņa.
