Black opera singer quit because a white opera singer was playing the lead, an Ethiopian character, in Aida. The black babe was scheduled to play the lead, a white French character, in La Traviata, but that’s different because she’s black.

[ScaniaBoy]

Anyone upset that Anna Netrebko signs Aida obviously does not understand music. Fire Ms Blue!

For the best. She was likely hired in the name of “diversity” anyway. Now they can replace her with another soprano who has as much as or more talent without the baggage of having to walk on eggshells around them fearing an accusation of “racism” if one fails to genuflect before her when passing by.

[CrappieLuck]

But was she “Offended” when Rachel Dolezal posed as a black chick and ran the local NAACP chapter?
More faux outrage, drama and victimHOOD

[Bernard]

Diversity is a one-way street.

And Angel Blue? Sounds like a stripper name.

[MarvinStinson]

Angel Blue

Anna Netrebko

There should be no future performances of La Traviata unless a genuine Ethiopian plays Aida, preferably a Princess.

[Rummyfan]

Yeah that’s where we are. As for the black babe, let her quit. She’s only hurting herself.

The hypocrisy and their blindness to it is amazing.

They blather on and on about “cultural appropriation”. OK...what are you doing singing Opera? That’s for White people only - according to YOUR OWN ideology.

For that matter, what are you doing using electricity, air conditioning, radio, television, antibiotics, airplanes, cars, bicycles, diesel engines, telephones, the internet, universities....the entire modern world. That was invented by White people. So therefore you using any of that is cultural appropriation according to YOUR OWN ideology.

Fortunately I’m not a Leftist so I’m not bound by their idiotic ideology but Alinsky tactics would require us to hold them to theirs.

[WashingtonSource]

Good riddance to her/it.

[HIDEK6]

The opera will survive.

[ByteMercenary]

OK Angel, do what you gotta do - it’s your paycheck. But going to the press and whining is just stupid. Nobody really cares why you quit. So just revel in the satisfaction with your own moral superiority - quietly.

[eartick]

Spoiled American blacks rise up again.

[Avalon Memories]

But it’s ok for a black man to play Alexander Hamilton in that abomination of a so-called musical titled ‘Hamilton.’

[ballplayer]

I’m sure that guy doesn’t work for Disney,checkout the Fairy Godmother in the new pinochio

Blue’s approach is anti-black. The character of Aida is a black Ethiopian slave in the charge of Pharaoh’s daughter, the princess Amneris. Amneris loves army general Radames, but Radames loves the slave Aida. The blackness and slave status of Aida strengthens the drama of the love triangle, especially in 1870 when the show premiered. Think Othello and the opera Otello. So Blue and other deniers are essentially saying that if a white plays Aida, she must play the character as a white person. Why? The converse would be that if a black plays a white character, she must play it as a white. Why?

If a character is supposed to be black it should be played as black, as has been done since before Shakespeare. Otherwise it changes and weakens the story.

And this bitch nor anyone else didn’t say a word

[redangus]

Didn’t ‘Hamilton’ use a lot of black actors playing white men? I guess I’m missing something.

[elpadre]

prima donna walks with chip on shoulder

[dfwgator]

Well I boycotted Hamilton, so there!

Now that's funny!
