Berlin Opera allowed Putin Netrebko's supporters to perform: Foreign Ministry protested

The Ambassador of Ukraine, together with the Berlin senator, will visit the exhibition "Russian War Crimes" to "reach" to the Opera House. Opera singer Anna Netrebko, who was a trusted person of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the elections and a participant in the Kremlin propaganda campaign, was returned to the stage of the Chief German Theater. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine scored a start and announced a protest. This was reported on the Foreign Ministry page on Facebook.

"The return of Anna Netrebko to the Staatsoper Unter Den Linden stage is" normalization "and tolerance of Russian war crimes, for which Ms. Netrebko carries correspondence," the post reads. It is reported that the Embassy of Ukraine in Germany monitors and conducts work on the case since the first announcements. Unfortunately, their arguments did not find proper response in the German state opera.

At the same time, active communication work with Berlin is conducted by the Ukrainian Institute - the State Institution of Ukraine, which represents Ukrainian culture in the world and forms a positive image of Ukraine abroad. "Our position was also supported by the Senate of Berlin and personally by the burgomaster Kai Vegner, and the cultural senator Joe Chalo," the post added. Nevertheless, Ukrainians do not leave the attempt to "reach" to the Opera House.

Together with Berlin Senator, Joe Chalo Ambassador of Ukraine Alexei Makeev will visit the exhibition "Russian War Crimes", which takes place in the building of Humboldt University immediately opposite the opera. "Protecting its decision, the opera also stood in defense of the Netrebko - they said, renounced, distanced and condemned. However, Ms. Netrebko was distanced except from her own past, which" could be misinterpreted ", and condemned only" war against Ukraine.

" Alexei Makeev wrote in no word on who started this war and who leads it criminally, " - wrote on his page. The ambassador also supported the petition of civil society and expressed its clear position. "Today, a joint OP-Ed ambassador and the deputy of the European Parliament Sergey Lagodinsky about the indifference of the Berlin Opera, unconvincing statements of Ms. Netrebko and the inability and unwillingness of Russian society to take responsibility,"-added to the Foreign Ministry.
