Instead of participating in tomorrow’s International Opera Day, Israel Opera in Tel Aviv has recorded “Bring Him Home” from Les Miserables. The company is appealing to every opera house across the globe to join efforts towards the safe return of all who are held hostage in Gaza.

Songs from Les Miserables have often been used in circumstances that have a political and humanitarian dimension, although it's usually "Do You Hear the People Sing" that is repurposed.

Les Miz has been translated into both Hebrew and Arabic, among many other languages, and has been produced in Israel, Egypt, the UAE and elsewhere.
