We all carry a burden and responsibility to create the world we want to live in.” Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega

When Calgary Opera decided to censor Gabriel for holding up a Palestinian flag during his bow in Tosca, they thought the story ended there. They were wrong.

You cannot perform stories of liberation while punishing real-world courage. The community answered: true artists don’t leave their humanity behind when the curtain falls, and true communities never let moral courage be silenced.

We stand with Gabriel. We stand with Palestine.

PROTEST: Stand with Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega | Reject Institutional Censorship

Join us this Saturday as we rally outside Calgary Opera’s closing night of Tosca to demand accountability and stand in solidarity with bass-baritone Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega.

Gabriel played Angelotti, an escaped political prisoner, and was removed from the production after holding up a Palestinian flag during opening night curtain call.

Opera has always mirrored political reality. Tosca itself is about state repression and resistance. For an artist playing a political prisoner to raise a flag for people enduring blockade, displacement, and mass atrocities isn’t a disruption of the art, it is the exact truth-telling opera was built for.

If an opera about state tyranny leaves no room for an artist acknowledging real-time human suffering, that says everything about the institution and nothing about the artist.

Cultural institutions cannot stage stories of resistance while punishing artists for practicing it.

Donor censorship. Institutional cowardice. We will not stay silent.
