Do whites in the audience have to sit in back? Or maybe the audience are not even allowed to attend? After all, the negroes attending have to feel safe.

Unity? Looks like all the performers are black--they must mean unity of blacks against Whites. As a blue-eyed White guy with an Asian wife (Asians another favorite target of blacks) I wouldn't go near that place. Under the question about how they are keeping attendees safe--it is all about safety from the Wuhan Virus--nothing about safety from all those blacks. And "fully vaccinated" people are still required to wear masks and "socially distance"--some "vaccine" where authorities are convinced "vaccinated" people must still be able to get infected and transmit the virus. Finally, isn't having black singers sing opera--the art form of European White people "cultural appropriation." I guess "cultural appropriation" only goes one way. However, as a White person, I don't mind if other races want to perform our music, take advantage of White inventions and discoveries, wear our kind of clothes, live in our kind of houses, etc.--but you non-whites could thank White civilization for all the things it has given other races all over the world--instead of teaching people to hate us for all the things which make your life better than living in a mud hut.
