US soprano, offended by blackface, pulls out of Italy opera KPRC2
The U.S. singer posted a note on Instagram saying she will be bowing out of La Traviata at Verona's Arena this month because the theater recently mounted another Verdi opera, Aida, using blackface. – Soprano Angel Blue says she won’t perform in an opera in Italy this month because blackface was used in the staging of a different work this summer on the same stage.
Angel Blue, however, was still listed Saturday on the Arena's website as singing the role of Violetta in"La Traviata” on July 22 and 30. “Dear Friends, Family, and Opera Lovers,” began the soprano's Instagram post. “I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that I will not be singing La Traviata at Arena di Verona this summer as planned."
Still, the theater stressed its hope that her protest would ultimately improve understanding between cultures as well as educate Italian audiences.
