Artists and employees of
Cairo Opera House Protested today and started a strike for the first time in the history of the Opera demanding the dismissal of the minister of culture.
The artists and employees were shocked today to find the newly appointed minister of culture issued
a sudden decision to sack the head of Cairo Opera House
Ines Abdel Dayem earlier today.
Staging a protest outside the Opera house in Zamalek Tuesday afternoon , Musicians from
Cairo symphony orchestra, artists, dancers and visual artists joined the protest holding banners and chanting against the minister of culture Alaa Abdel Aziz.
They even asked the people to honk if they hate the Muslim brotherhood.
 |
| If you hate the MB , honk "Ahram Online Arts" |
 |
| And people did honk "Ahram Online Arts" |
What was supposed to be
Opera Aida turned in to a protest for the first time in the history of Opera house in Egypt and I think in the history of Opera Aida itself.
 |
| Opera Aida tonight turned in to a protest |
 |
| We are all Ines Abdel Dayem said the banners tonight |
The audience supported the decision and even refused to be refunded for the tickets.
 |
| Inside the Opera House tonight |
Of course Opera Aida is cancelled as well other scheduled including the concerts of
Omar Khairat. There is huge anger in the Opera House as well the rest of the ministry of culture as close to MB newly appointed ministry Abdel Aziz is doing his best in sacking people and appointing his friends as well MB members.
