The Washington National Opera has relocated upcoming performances after it withdraw from the Kennedy Center following President Donald Trump’s takeover of the Center.
A few upcoming performances will be hosted at the Lisner Auditorium at George Washington University. The opera said its spring programming will be moved to other venues across the D.C. area.
According to a Friday news release, the opera received a flood of donations after announcing last week it would depart from the Kennedy Center.
The decision to quit the Kennedy Center was made, according to the opera, over financial constraints imposed after Trump appointed his allies to the Kennedy Center’s board.
