Published on 7.21.25
A pro-Palestine protester, identified as queer dance artist Daniel Perry, caused a scene at the Royal Opera House during a performance of Il Trovatore, unfurling the Palestine flag on stage and resisting attempts to remove it from them. The incident occurred after Perry had compared the Nazi regime's rise in Germany to current events in a post about the play Cabaret. Perry, who attended Tring Park School for the Performing Arts and has worked as a dancer since 2013, has been identified by Royal Opera director Oliver Mears.
