Statement from the French culture minister Françoise Nyssen:

‘Today an agreement was signed with the Paris Opera House to help Saudi Arabia establish a national orchestra and an opera house, Nyssen told reporters after signing agreements with her Saudi counterpart Awwad al-Awwad in Paris.’

Presumably with Paris Opéra labour agreements.

The Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is presently on a visit to France.
