A photo of a long line of opera goers waiting to see The Washington Opera perform its first of the season after severing its partnership with the dying The Kennedy Center after Trump took it over. Standing ovation inside for that decision.

Chalamet can suck it because Washington DC knows the opera isn’t dying. Here, it’s an act of resistance and we are HERE for it!

Thank you, Washington Opera for breaking free from what used to be The Kennedy Center and bringing us an amazing opener for 70th season with #Treemonisha at the Lisner.
