Opera Australia announced their replacement for Tamar Iveri, the Georgian singer who was fired following Facebook comments she made in which she compared homosexuals with “faecal masses.”

Opera Australia, who described Iveri’s views as “unconscionable,” released her from her contract to perform the role of Desdemona in their staging of Othello, Broadway World reported.

Armenian soprano Lianna Haroutounian will be Iveri’s replacement. 

Iveri made a Facebook post that was presented as an open letter to Georgian president Giorgi Margvelashvili after Christian Orthodox groups violently assaulted members of a gay pride march in Georgian capital city Tbilisi in May.

Later, Iveri claimed that the post, which has since been deleted, had been written by her husband.

But, in an interview, Iveri said she wrote the original post and also made further homophobic comments.
