📢 When a pro-Putin soprano takes London’s main stage, Ukrainians make sure audiences hear what Russia’s “soprano” truly sounds like: an air raid siren. Anna Netrebko, а long-standing supporter of Russia, is scheduled for multiple performances at the Royal Opera House from Sept. 11–21, drawing weeks of protests from Ukrainians and their allies. As her shows continue, demonstrators remind audiences of the sound that defines daily life in Ukraine — a siren that needs no words to be understood. ___
