Just Stop Oil protesters have interrupted a performance during the Glyndebourne opera festival in East Sussex by letting off glitter cannons and blowing air horns. The disruption took place during a performance on Thursday of Francis Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites at the festival near Lewes. The incident occurred at about 5.30pm and the opera restarted after a delay of about 20 minutes. A Glyndebourne spokesperson said the incident was formally reported to police but that officers were not on site and no arrests had been made. The stage was cleared and ushers peacefully escorted the three protesters from the theatre within a minute, she said. The audience remained inside and were given regular updates. “We are very sorry to everyone whose visit to Glyndebourne was affected by the protest action today,” the spokesperson told the BBC. “Our highest priority was the safety and security of everyone on site and we would like to thank our staff and performers, whose calm and professional response kept everyone safe, and disruption to a minimum.” skip past newsletter promotion …
