Professional-Palestinian protest prompts scuffle onstage at Royal Opera Home in London

A performer holding a Palestinian flag touched off a quick scuffle on stage on the Royal Opera Home in London as forged members have been taking their bows following the season’s remaining efficiency of “Il Trovatore”.

Pictures posted on social media present what seems to be a member of the refrain holding the unfurled flag in entrance of his chest whereas the lead singers bask within the viewers’s applause on Saturday evening.

After just a few moments, somebody backstage tries to seize the flag, however the performer holds onto it and snaps again into place.

“The show of the flag was an unauthorised motion by the artist,” the opera firm mentioned in an announcement on Sunday. “It was not accepted by the Royal Ballet and Opera and is a completely inappropriate act.”
