A Bolivian orchestra group has been stranded for 73 days at the Rheinsberg Palace in Germany, where 23 packs of wolves roam the grounds and surrounding woodland area
Photo: Olga Galkin/Getty Images/500px Picture this: You are a young touring musician whose love of playing the panpipes has brought you and your colleagues to a haunted German castle for a night. It’s spooky, but you fully expect to decamp in the morning and continue your travels through the concert halls of East Germany. But a mysterious illness prompts the shuttering of borders and issuance of stay-at-home mandates, and your plans dissipate overnight.
It sounds like a bad blurb for a debut short-story collection in the style of Angela Carter, but this is real. The BBC reported on Friday that a Bolivian orchestra group has been stranded for 73 days at the Rheinsberg Palace in Germany, which once housed royals and aristocracy and is located about an hour and a half outside Berlin.
Due to social-distancing restrictions, the performers have not been able to leave the palace grounds and surrounding woodland area, inhabited by 23 packs of wolves. So they ended up at the palace for reasons not adequately explained . According to the report, the sounds of panpipes, snare drums, and flutes now fill the palace halls.
Waking nightmare or alternative artist’s residency? Some musicians find that passing the empty days on a beautiful estate isn’t so bad. A 25-year-old musician named Miguel told the BBC, “There are worse places to be trapped. When I wake up, I watch the sun rise over the forest and the lake. Back home, I only hear the sound of traffic.” Others are not so at ease. Tracy Prado told the BBC “it was devastating” to miss her daughter’s birthday because she was unable to return home.
