Milan's La Scala Theatre Fires Usher Who Shouted 'Free Palestine' at Gala Event

  • Milan's La Scala opera house fired an usher who shouted 'Free Palestine' during a May 4 concert attended by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
  • The dismissal followed the usher's disruption as Meloni entered the royal box, with La Scala citing betrayal of trust and disobedience of orders.
  • Trade unions condemned the firing as harsh, expressing solidarity and pledging to defend the usher who acted on conscience amid widespread protests over Gaza.
  • Italy’s security law partly motivates concern, as it includes vague anti-terrorism provisions that may jeopardize freedom of expression, says the UN and union officials.
  • The incident highlights tensions over Italy's pro-Israel government stance amid escalating Gaza conflict, with opposition rallying for a ceasefire and unions calling for performance banners.
