The coronavirus pandemic has put on hold most concerts all around the globe. But it hasn’t stopped Australian rock legend Nick Cave from holding a great music show at the Alexandra Palace in London. This time, however, Cave did not perform in front of thousands of viewers: His only audience was Irish cinematographer Robbie Ryan who filmed the whole act. Called “Idiot Prayer: Nick Cave Alone at Alexandra Palace,” the concert film displays Cave playing the piano and performing his greatest hits for over 80 minutes. The show was broadcast live in July and released in cinemas worldwide on Nov. 5. Kyiv citizens will get a chance to hear Cave’s outstanding performance on Nov. 7-11.
