I honestly don’t see why politics should have anything to do with this matter.

Does admiring the Bolshoi ballet make one a pro Russia?

[Daphne – A performance of the Bolshoi ballet, Mr Loporto, does not have a political aim or a political message. The comparison you should make is to a performance of the Bolshoi for the glorification of Vladimir Putin. The point at issue, then, would not be the technical brilliance of their performance, or otherwise.]

Being an employee or not, I don’t think it’s their job to participate in government propaganda videos.

Madgoal, that is an unfair comment. The orchestral members are employees and Sigmund Mifsud (by international standards, a semi-professional trumpet player) is their chairman.

Silvio, that’s because you are a philistine.

Well, let’s hope the prime minister did not make them miss school in order to have them sing in his honour. They could loose their benefit if they did so.
