'I'm coming back to life' pianist says, as Geneva reopens

Geneva: French pianist Eric Artz has performed for the first time in seven months in Geneva, after Switzerland eased COVID-19 restrictions and allowed concert venues to readmit a limited numbers of guests.

"It's a lot of emotion after this first concert because it's been seven months now that I have not been able to perform on stage. So here I'm coming back to life," he told Reuters after his show on Wednesday at the 19th century theatre 'Les Salons'. For his candle-lit comeback, the artist decided to trade Chopin and Beethoven for Manga anime songs such as Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon.
