Message to spectators of the performance of La Traviata on Tuesday 24 September 2019 at 7:30 pm at the Palais Garnier
As a result of a national strike regarding the proposed reform of the pension system, the performance of La Traviata scheduled for Tuesday 24 September 2019 at 7:30 pm at the Palais Garnier is unfortunately cancelled.
A strike for the removal of these wheels would have my most enthusiastic support.
I was there last May. It was my first time, so you can imagine my disappointment to see the grand staircase of grand staircases marred by such nonsense.
The French love demonstrations and strikes. It’s their schtick. Macron will smooth it over with some virtue-signalling rhetoric, I’m sure.
Beautifully worded apology, isn’t it?
