The French Government Has Offered Concessions To The Paris Opera Dancers Who Have Been On Strike

The massive strike, in its 24th day and spread throughout the country, went viral last week when dancers and the orchestra performed selections from Swan Lake in front of the Paris Opèra. “The special retirement plan for the Paris Opera, which allows dancers to bow out at age 42, was introduced in 1698 by king Louis XIV — making it among the oldest in France.” – France24
