A few weeks ago a performer stood in solidarity with Palestine waving the Palestinian flag mid performance on the main stage at the Royal Opera House in London and having it torn out of their hand by the director. Now ROH have cancelled a production on Isreal and nearly 200 staff of the ROH and RBO has signed a letter in support for Palestine.

I love to see it
Boycott works, boycott matters. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Shoutout toe the staff who organized and refused to be complicit, this is what solidarity looks like in the arts. It’s not easy to go against the institution you’re working for
As a massive RB fan, I’m so pleased to see this. Kevin O Hare makes questionable choices but I do think he sees that this would absolutely place his charge on the wrong side of history
