Performer unfurls Palestinian flag on Royal Opera House stage

During the curtain call at the Royal Opera House, a cast member unfurled a Palestinian flag, sparking a brief scuffle as officials tried to stop the protest. The incident occurred on the closing night of Giuseppe Verdi's opera "Il trovatore" in central London. The Royal Ballet and Opera stated that the flag display was unauthorised and not politically impartial, contrary to their commitment. Palestinian flags have been associated with protests supporting Gaza residents amidst the Israel-Hamas conflict.
