The Opera House condemns: inappropriate behavior In an official statement issued on Sunday, the Opera House administration condemned the incident, calling it "completely inappropriate and unauthorized behavior." A spokesperson for the house explained that the artist had not received permission to raise the flag, stressing that this behavior does not reflect the policies of the artistic institution. The video circulating on social media showed a tense moment on stage, as someone outside the performance attempted to intervene to stop the artist, but was unsuccessful.

Growing artistic solidarity with Gaza in the British arena This incident comes amid a surge in pro-Palestine artistic expression within British cultural circles, particularly after the Glastonbury Festival, which witnessed similar events. Renowned bands such as Nikab, Bob Filan, and Wolf Alice have offered public messages of solidarity with Gaza, some of which have sparked police investigations, particularly after a member of Bob Filan's band called on the audience to chant controversial political slogans on stage.

The debate continues between art and politics The incident sparked widespread debate about the boundaries between artistic expression and political stances, with public opinion divided between those who view the incident as a form of freedom of expression and those who call for the separation of politics from the arts. With the ongoing investigations and the growing pro-Palestinian voices in the cultural sphere, it appears the debate between art and politics will continue within British theaters and festivals for the foreseeable future.
