18 operagoers need medical treatment after lesbian Hindemith opera
OperaFlorentina Holzinger’s Stuttgart production of Hindemith’s Sancta Susanna has hit the British tabloids after audience members complained of sickness and fainting at the sight of rollerskating naked nuns and an actor pulling down Jesus Christ’s loincloth on the cross.
In an earlier scene, Jesus spanks a nun’s naked bottom.
A representative of the opera company said those who suffered adverse symptoms were sitting in the front rows.
Holzinger is a notorious Austrian audience shocker, who gave her production a first run in remote Schwerin four months ago. Stuttgart’s state opera restricted its production to over-18s.
The Daily Mail has run riot today The Telegraph is following up. Hindemith has not been talked about this much this century.
That’s the best laugh I’ve had all day. Thanks Norman!
Much fun no doubt, but what has it got to do with the music?!
…and people pay to see this????
The Daily Mail is under the impression that Stuttgart is in Austria!
Yes. But the singing?
at least with the production
like this i would not fall asleep.
Oh please, they were probably simply shocked they no longer have to hide behind vpn when watching adult films to enjoy such things.
These woke crowds with their delicate sensitivities. It’s pathetic how they must constantly be kept sheltered from the real world.
I sense a potential sequel: “Nun Butt: The Lonely Heart.”
With so many smut parlors having been closed down due to the Covid pandemic, one only needs to attend the opera to get their much delayed fix of good-old voyeurism. Where’s the ticket office? . . . Actually, I like Hindemith’s earlier compositions.
