The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Spanish Opera house cancels performance amid protests over lack of social distancing” – below is their description.
Spain’s main opera house came under fire on Monday after a show had to be cancelled amid loud protests from spectators complaining about the lack of social distancing in upper-circle seats. Videos shared online by several attendees to Sunday’s performance of Giuseppe Verdi’s ‘Un ballo in maschera’ at the Royal Theater in Madrid showed some full rows in the highest and cheapest seats, while attendance at the pricier floor area had empty seats. The performance was cancelled despite the theatre relocating some spectators and offering to return the value of their tickets. The theatre has launched an investigation into the incident. It said the attendance had been reduced to 905 seats, or 51.5% of the total.
