Gay activists say they were attacked last weekend by members of the orchestra and the security staff of the Greek National Opera during a demonstration over a production of Rusalka.  Members of the orchestra had voted not to play the opera in protest against a scene in which two male characters were to kiss. The musicians handed out leaflets complaining that this kissing scene “tainted the central hero with homosexual tendencies.” [via Teacher Dude’s Grill and BBQ]
