You Must Be This Tall to Ride This Ride in Geneva

by Christie Connolley

The Geneva Opera House is issuing a warning regarding the upcoming performance of Berg’s Lulu, stating that it may not be suitable for viewing for those 16 years old and under.

The opera house further explains, “To translate to the stage the intentions of the composer and his inspiration Frank Wedekind, Olivier Py and his team have drawn on images which — while increasingly common and widespread — remain rare and unusual on the operatic stage and could shock an unprepared spectator.”
