Paris Opera expels veiled woman during performance
Here's part of the story.
France's government is drawing up
a new set of rules for theatres after the Paris Opera ejected a woman
for wearing a veil during a performance, the institution's deputy
director said Sunday.
The
incident took place when a veiled woman was spotted on the front row of a
performance of La Traviata at the Opera Bastille, Jean-Philippe
Thiellay told AFP, confirming a media report.
France
brought in a law in 2011 banning anyone from wearing clothing that
conceals the face in a public space, or face a 150 euro ($190) fine.
