For all viewers please:

If you are watching alone:
- Find a place which makes you feel most comfortable. If you have a favorite chair, sit in it. If you like your bed, lie in it. If you must go outside to watch, wear a mask.
- Whenever possible please use headphones to enhance the audio experience. There are subtle, minute sounds you will better distinguish with headphones.
