Musicians in the orchestra of the Royal Opera House are considering a new pay offer from management. All action short of strike has been paused while members vote on the new offer.

They have been campaigning to have their pay restored to pre pandemic levels after taking a 10% pay cut to help the company through the worst of Covid-19. Over 2,500 people have signed a petition supporting the orchestra and many shared messages of support on social media.

Thank you to everyone who has signed the petition and shared messages of support so far.
