YEREVAN, JULY 7, ARMENPRESS. 75 compositors and musicologists asked to cut ties with the oil company British Petroleum in their address to London’s Royal Opera Theatre (Kovent-Garden). Compositor John Luther Adams, professor at the Oxford University Georgina Born and conductor Sally Mears are among the signatories of the address.

As reports “Armenpress”, in an article published in the website of The Guardian on July 2, it is said that ties with that oil company represents a stain on the Royal Opera House’s international reputation.

Participant of the protest compositor and musicologist Chris Hared said.”Supporting totalitarian regimes in Western Papua and Azerbaijan BP has clearly proved that is against freedom. BP should not have a place in our cultural institutions, as culture is indented to call for the victory of freedom”.
