Maggio Musicale plays La Boheme with piano only

Message from the Florence opera house:

The Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino informs the kind public that, due to the national strike imposed by Trade Union Organizations for the renewal of the National Collective Contract of the Symphony Lyrical Foundations, it is not able – at the moment – to guarantee the regular execution of the first performance of the opera “La bohème” in the program tonight.
The Teatro del Maggio has however decided to raise the curtain on the play that will eventually be proposed with the performance of piano music.
The audience who does not intend to attend the play performed in this mode will be able to ask for a refund of their ticket, or they will be able to move their place to one of the next performances of “La bohème”, commensurate with availability.
