Christmas Eve Concert Held in Paris' Fire-Wrecked Notre Dame

Members of the choir of Notre Dame Cathedral sang inside the medieval Paris landmark for the first time since last year’s devastating fire for a special Christmas Eve concert, Euronews reports.

Accompanied by an acclaimed cellist and a rented organ, the singers performed beneath the cathedral’s stained-glass windows amid the darkened church, which is transitioning from being a precarious hazardous clean-up operation to becoming a massive reconstruction site.

The choir initially planned to bring in 20 singers but for safety reasons they were limited to eight, wearing hard hats and protective suits.

The choir members stood socially distanced to be able to take off their masks — which is required indoors in France to stem the spread of the virus — and sing.
