Opera and other art should confront controversial issues

In response to the call to action to solve the “rape problem” in opera by exposing the productions of anything that could harm – i.e. the “Weinstein vibes” – and leaving the music intact, I propose that we continue in our drive to purge art of all bestiality (“Can Opera Conquer the Rape Problem?”, Nov. 30). As Jacqueline Maley argues, we should not be afraid to “look at art through a modern lens”. When bigoted attitudes are expressed, they are only being propagated – simple as that. But please, let’s not stop at opera.
