Is having a Chinese diva playing a Japanese character (written by an Italian) cultural appropriation? Maybe those too easily offended should chill out and consider this instead.
I disagree over thinking about casting about race* and most production don't need a woke lecture (give audiences a chance to figure it out themselves), but theater directors and authors should cast with the idea of who will be most effective in the role. A lot goes into that. Art is complex, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
The truth is Puccini was an empathetic and perceptive composure, well ahead of his time, whose works are very sensitive and sympathetic to his tragic characters. Madama Butterfly still had a tough opening night at La Scala.
Even lefty darling Lin-Manuel Miranda is facing cancel culture. When you put cultural Robespierres and Madam Maos in charge, what do you expect will happen? Nothing good. Just remember it can get way worse.
I know having a Japanese actor or singer playing a Chinese role would definitely be a problem in China. Chinese officials encourage that. Do you think it might be to divert blame from themselves?
* Russians often play in Russian operas, but that is because they are better signing in Russian.

She is great as the tragic Tosca too!
