In the ongoing protest by seasonal employees over proposed changes to labor rules for theater workers, Union members occupied the old building of the National Opera in Paris, Palais Garnier in the city center. Police said no arrests have been made and no violence was reported. However Palais Garnier remains closed today until 1 p.m. At the Bastille Opera, Mozarts ‘Zauberflöte’ was presented yesterday evening only in a concert version.
