Victorian Opera apologises for lack of diversity in Tommy cast – The Sydney Morning Herald
The cast announcement for the production, set to open in August at the Palais, on Thursday morning almost immediately attracted criticism.
In a statement released on Friday afternoon, VO chief executive Elizabeth Hill thanked the community for reaching out to us with your concerns around diversity and inclusion, saying the company read and considered every comment.
We want to apologise for how this announcement has made many of our community feel, she said. We want to acknowledge that our upcoming production of The Whos Tommy does not have the representation that is important to our community and to us. And we are sorry.
