A Bolivian orchestra group has been stranded in a German castle for 73 days after the countries closed their borders during the coronavirus pandemic. The musicians, some of whom are as young as 17 …

The castle grounds and surrounding woodland are also home to more than a dozen packs of wolves. One member, named Tracy Prado, said she saw three wolves while out for a walk.The nearby town of Rheinsberg has been mostly welcoming to the musicians, who socially distance themselves and remain on the castle grounds. The group stays at a guest house on the estate, which has a kitchen staff that drops off food for their unplanned guests.

MaerzMusik, the festival at which the orchestra was going to perform, has helped raise funds for the group. Director Berno Odo told the BBC that the accommodation costs are as high as $38,400 a month. Some of the musicians are still able to communicate with their family members back home, but they say their temporary lodging is far from a vacation.

“People back home think we’re in a fairytale land. I’ve had hundreds of messages telling me to stop complaining, and that I’m living like a princess in a German castle,” Carlos said. “We feel abandoned.” The BBC reports that the Bolivian embassy hopes to get the orchestra on a flight back to the country in early June.

A HAUNTED German castle, apparently. So, yes, it’s now in development at Netflix.

Hahahahahahaha Can I be stranded there? Count your blessings you had somewhere to be.

😂😂

Herzog's new film?

Thanks for the pitch, Sir. Don't call us, we'll call you.

Tbis needs to be a film

Does it have a singing ringing tree in the courtyard

ComradeEevee demonising wolves for clicks, good look, absolute gutter journalism

Is one of the orchestra called Peter.

I've got Scooby-Doo and Shaggy racing round the castle in my head and it won't go away

Who will come out alive (and sane)? My money's on the brass section.

The Barks and Bells of Bavaria or Die Rinden und die Glocken Bayerns

Where do I buy the movie rights to this? Got the title lined up and everything: Wolf Gang Slamadeus Ghostparty

Love to be there listening

Dig dig diggity GreatEscape2020

It is called Wolfenstein for a reason.

A pack of wolves apparently ranges from 2 to 36, with an average of 6. Several packs means at least 42 wolves but could be 216. Full-scale orchestras are 90, smaller are 15-45 and the average is apparently 60. Therefore...handing over to next person...

Castle wolf und stein

Barnster Could be worse, could be in Bolivia.

The castle owner should take the orchestra across first, return for the wolves, drop them off and pick up the orchestra again, go back and swap them for the instruments, then finally make one more return for the orchestra. Or the orchestra could go first and then just run for it

Living the dream!

Werewolf.? Therewolf.

Cue the music.. Cue the smoke machine.. ..wolf howl SFX in three, two..

There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home.

Someone sign up the movie rights.

I think we have the plot outline for the next JordanPeele movie.

This season of Black Mirror is really bumming me out.

Someone call Van Helsing... or a Belmont

There are wolves in Brandenburg again, yes, not limited to this particular area. They avoid human beings, and there hasn’t been any incident involving humans. Stupid sensationalist article. Rheinsberg is a town with 8.000 people, not a forsaken fairy-tale castle in the woods.

Hope they're writing/practicing the inevitable soundtrack, if they're ever rescued that is.

I would rent this movie.

Here it's the White House.

Oh wow that’s scary.

Is there also a large hairy man with a glowing rose in a bell jar?

It sounds cool to us, but that’s so scary for them to be abandoned in a castle they don’t know!

CC ango84

i'm sorry SEVERAL PACKS OF WOLVES?

This sounds like a sweet movie

Nice!

Oddly enough, they may be safer there. 😬
