PRAGUE (AP) — The local government in Prague said Monday that it “unequivocally" opposes a scheduled performance by Russian opera singer Anna Netrebko in the Czech capital while Russia wages war on Ukraine. Deputy Mayor Jiri Pospisil, who oversees culture in the city, said that all the members of Prague's governing coalition shared the same view. “All the parties perceive that at a time when the war (in Ukraine) has been ongoing and we read every day about the victims of the Russian attacks in the media, it is insensitive for such a singer to perform here in Prague,” Pospisil said.
