Welsh National Opera members in stage protest over cuts

Advertisements

Welsh National Opera chorus members held a protest against funding cuts at the end of a performance in Cardiff on Saturday night.

The WNO announced last year that it was cutting back its spring tour in 2025 along with other measures due to “increasing financial challenges”.

Chorus members displayed t-shirts and waved placards saying Save Our WNO during the curtain call for Marriage of Figaro at Wales Millennium Centre as the audience applauded and cheered.

Opera singer Elizabeth Atherton said that both the orchestra and the chorus have been protesting at performances since September.

“If WNO doesn’t get some emergency funding, we are going to be left with a shell of a company,” she said.
