Opera: A new Sodom and Gomorah?

Reading this just makes me want to crawl into the woodwork for a while.
Isn't life real and ugly enough?

Why can't we be spared more ugliness on stage?
Just because a director(ess) wants to shock?

What happens in this world is shocking enough, too shocking, IMO.

So, for Pete's sake, do let us enjoy a few hours when music whisks us away.

 

Or could if it were not for those dratted directors forcing trash and horrors, even porn however soft it may seem, on an unsuspecting (can we be still thus?) audience.
