Damn. I really wish I could go to that. If there were tickets available, I would immediately ask my partner if she was ok with us taking a trip to see it.

Archbishop of Salzburg Franz Lackner described the show as “seriously offensive to believers’ religious feelings and convictions”.
Oh no! Not your feelings!
“This is an opera about the breaking forth of the repressed female libido, so we decided to have a lot of fun," the 38-year-old dancer told The Guardian earlier this year.
Hmm, comments turned off.
Oh my God, I totally wanna see this.
And of course it’s German.
Aren't nuns identified by their clothing? How can you tell they're nuns if they're naked?
Context, probably
Just the hat.
It’s called a “wimple”
Or a habit.
A habit is the entire uniform, not the headdress. Just the headdress, referred to here in context, is called wimple— A specific part of the habit, if you want to be very technical about it.
Huh, TIL... well let's not tell my catholic mom I got that wrong haha
It’s a common misconception. The whole habit consist of several constituent parts, each with their own (very silly) names.
Sounds like a good time
In short, the opera is nearly three-hours of uninterrupted batshit craziness.
On stage, naked nuns roller skate around on a movable half-pipe, while a bouldering wall of crucified naked bodies dripping blood looms in the background. To add to this chaos, there are live piercings, crucifix swallowing acts, unsimulated sex scenes and a sprinkle of spanking thrown in for good measure.
One particularly unforgettable moment sees an actress with dwarfism dressed as the Pope, being spun around by a robotic arm, while another features an actress belting out Eminem tracks while dressed as Jesus (because why not?).
The ghost of Paul Hindemith:
Hindemith on his second opera, "Das Nusch-Nuschi.":
"The following 'choral fugue' (with all mod cons: augmentation, diminutions, stretto and basso ostinato) simply thank their existence to an unfortunate coincidence: they were conceived by the composer. They have no further purpose than this: to incorporate themselves stylishly into the framework of this picture and provide all 'experts' with the opportunity to bark about the incredibly bad taste of their creator. Hallelujah! – It is essential that this piece be danced (or rather wobbled to) by two eunuchs with incredibly fat and naked bellies."
This sounds fucking amazing. Literally.
If Germany is now pioneering the medium of operatic fetish porn, I’m totally here for it.
Dunno. Sounds like schlock for the sake of schlock to me. Nothing wrong with that but don't claim it as high art.
I happen to know a lot about schlock. I really don’t think this sounds at all like it.
I would encourage you, instead, to check it out for yourself.
