Orchestra musicians are a different breed for sure. But the opera are still actors and not that strict.

As others have said, there's no platform or venue that is closed off to protest

    Sure, yeah, protest, but this is the expected result is the point. Protest doesn't mean there are no consequences. That's my point. This was still a good thing the perform did. It'd be great if there weren't consequences, or at least less severe, but it's pretty expected.
