Following the cutting short of William Tell due to a security alert, tonight’s performance has also been called off.

Here’s the official statement:

Today’s performance of Guillaume Tell was cancelled during the second intermission because of a disturbance by an audience member, who sprinkled an unidentified powdered substance into the orchestra pit.

UPDATED: The company has also canceled this evening’s performance of L’Italiana in Algeri while the authorities investigate the incident.
