PLANNED strikes by members of the chorus at the Welsh National Opera (WNO) will be “paused” following talks in a dispute over cuts.

Equity said that strikes planned for September 21 and 29 will not go ahead after “productive discussions” with WNO management over the past week.

A strike on Friday October 11 remains in place and action short of a strike will still be taken by chorus members throughout the season as originally planned.
