We hear that the Teatro Massimo Vincenzo Bellini in Catania has turned out the lights.

Apparently, the Sicilian regional government has not paid the last instalment of subsidy and no-one is getting paid.

Local reports say the theatre will be allowed to go bankrupt.

The government in Rome says it’s a local matter.

For shame.

Protests are mounting.
