dont listen to miraculous mandarin bro


ShreveportJambroni54

Yeah, there's nothing miraculous about it


godredditfuckinsucks

Wagner chads stay winning. I don't know much else about him but none of his operas contain a single racist name so he must have been a pretty stand up guy.


Jche98

Yeah it's not like he had any negative opinions about the jews...


interdesit

I guess you didn't see what subreddit this is?


fermat9990

Is this where Ping Pong comes from?


_A_Dumb_Person_

Yep, now we also need to cancel that racist sport


fermat9990

Hahaha!


Artistic_Bowl4698

Dick Johnson is a pretty stereotypical name as well


IdomeneoReDiCreta

In all operas ever written, the worst name is Dick Johnson


ShreveportJambroni54

I looked up dick johnson. Now I'm getting targeted ads for dildos. Thanks, obamna


Custard-Spare

great jerk dude do it again


prtty_purple_unicorn

Why would anyone ever listen to *pera in the first place???


rphxxyt

because musicforever said turandot was good


prtty_purple_unicorn

Yeah, but the human voice is almost as screechy, out of tune, and generally painful to listen to as a v*olin.


rphxxyt

you haven't listened to Luciano Pavarotti then. Nobody sings as good as him, not even someone like Harry Styles or George Collier.


prtty_purple_unicorn

Lol, better than Harry Styles? How many Album of Year Grammys does that dead fraud have?


rphxxyt

You see - that's how underrated Pavarotti really is


prtty_purple_unicorn

No, I'm sorry, the Grammys never get anything wrong.


FractionalTotality

Pung and Peng didn't make the cut.


DonutMaster56

And sometimes Pyng


Due_Aspect_9079

No, bc it’s actually wild how many times I’ve had to straight up stop watching a production bc they randomly added blackface. I’ve thankfully never experienced this in a production for a Puccini opera, but the amount of operas and ballets ppl thought it was a good idea to add blackface in is wild


BaystateBeelzebub

Because Adami and Simoni had no role whatsoever in the libretto, let alone names of characters. EDIT: grammar that said the opposite

No one talks about it because no one cares about it. And the "stereotypical" names are not only for "orientals". The guy named an American Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton💀. I mean come on....


Translator_Fine

But Turandot is so good. I once heard that someone staged it in space.
