Pro-Palestine Activists Protest at Norwegian Opera

By Francisco Salazar

On Jan 5, 2024, Pro-Palestine activists interrupted a performance at the Norwegian Opera demanding an end to attacks on Gaza.

During a performance protesters held up signs that said “Stop the Genocide, Boycott Israel.”

In a video published on social media, the audience applauded the interruption as an additional show of support for the Palestinian people.

It is the latest protest at an opera house against the attacks on Gaza. On Dec. 23  a protest broke out at the Teatro alla Scala over the war between Israel and Hamas and its impact on Gaza. The protest happened during a rehearsal for the Christmas concert that was set to be conducted by Daniel Harding. In a video recording released on X (formerly known as Twitter), protesters shouted and held up Palestinian flags.
