FIALS and Libersind unions at Opera di Roma have just opted to go on strike, putting four nights of Gluck's Iphigénie En Aulide conducted by Riccardo Muti at serious risk if the strike isn't called off.
The move follows Mayor Gianni Alemanno's decision to begin the procedure that could place, two weeks from now, the opera house into receivership.
***update***
The two unions gather 240 of 631 workers of the opera house, and they have announced a strike that will hit Iphigenie en Aulide on March 24, 26, 28 and 29; and Il re nudo @ Teatro Nazionale on March 25, 27, 29 and 31.
