Ep.2/ Opera is FATPHOBIC
Gatekeepers, Critics & Solutions
From abusive gatekeepers to misogynistic critics; today we discuss how and why fatphobia is so pervasive in opera culture. Weight stigma exists in all media, so it is no surprise that the same is true for the opera world. Mary talks about her own experiences with fatphobia and offers solutions to make opera a more welcoming space of all shapes and sizes. Classical Music on Mushrooms looks at various topics through a inclusive and spiritual lens with the intention of making the classical music world a better place.
“Anti - fat bias and discrimination are traumatizing singers at every level of this industry, and furthermore, it is driving talent out of the business.” - Traci Cox
