I can not stand behind any Opera promoting the act of Rape.
ReplyDeleteNancy, have you seen the opera/read the libretto? Do you know anything, anything, about this opera aside from it's title? Will you not stand behind Shakespeare as well?
ReplyDeleteI cannot tell from the insane comments you post on this blog whether you actually believe the nonsense you spout or if you're just run of the mill internet troll. I do know that these performances will happen even if you don't stand behind them, and I also know that you won't be missed.
Thanks for this, Andy.
ReplyDeleteOMG Nancy - the Rape of Lucretia is a classic - and certainly does NOT promote rape. Please educate yourself before you make comments that betray ignorance. Ignorance is not a sin, nor a crime, but it can so readily be remedied by the quickest Google search.
