The Paris Opera had to cancel all its future shows and close its doors after the country announced a ban on public gatherings of more than 100 people. “We close our theatres (halls, amphitheatre, studios wickets) and activities (artistic teams, technical rehearsals…) are suspended,” read a notice on one of their official handles.
