Naked chorus in opera-thread vanished?
 

Sorry if I´m just being useless but I can´t find a thread where a forum member described an upcoming naked opera chorus event, featuring his gf. The thread was started around the beginning of 2021. Has the thread been moved again or deleted?

Sorry and thanks :)

Damn, I think you’re right! I can’t find the thread either. Was super looking forward to hearing whether he enjoyed his girl being naked in front of a packed crowd!

Hope he creates a new thread or responds here!

Opera premiere
 

If I am not totally mistaken that opera premiers today. Hopefully there will be some media available afterwards.

You guys are like elephants, you never forget. I remember reading the same thread and found the scenario so potentially erotic that I did some searching at the time.
I think the musical group is the Czech Academic Choir of Brno.
The Opera is probably Bohuslav Martinu.
I'll upload some pictures and info that I collected at the time and hope someone can find pics or videos of the performance.

Opera preview
 

Bohuslav Martinu is the name of the composer, the opera is Recke Pasije. There's a long preview video of it here (interviews plus extracts). I can't see any sign of the nudity, so who knows if that made it into the final production.

It was definitely an interesting scenario, shame there wasn't a clear resolution on what happened.

The Opera discussed in this thread is online, put up by the choir. Search Youtube for Greek Passion uploaded in the last month, but there was no nudity in it as far as I can see.

Closure
 

..So it seems! Thank you! I guess we can put this to rest. Shame. Either they changed the direction or the original topic starter was well-written fiction :)

From the very beginning, I got a strong sense of "hopeful non-fiction." I think it was a case of "I heard this play has nudity, so let's grill my gf and see if they are going to do it," and that was as far as the truth was at the time. Then the poster had realized what they had made of it and had the thread deleted.

I had a similar personality to this in my very early 20s, so I know it when I see it. I blamed it on be raised extremely prudish, just to get to college and find out that "normal" and "typical" were not what I had experienced, so I suddenly was hopeful in making up for lost time as my mind would race with possible scenarios, none of which ever came to fruition.

I can believe nudity was genuinely discussed as a possibility very early in planning the production, but the poster then got wind of it and assumed it would definitely be happening, as opposed to being something that would almost certainly get struck out at the next meeting. I guess with a lot of productions of Hair, early on there's some talk of "wouldn't it be ker-azy if we actually did the nude scene?", and then in most cases it ends up either omitted completely or heavily watered down.

When I was in college, there was supposed to be a play that was just written/just won awards, and our school was shocked that it was awarded to put on the play, as small of a school as it was and not known to be a theatre school.

Anyway, the entire second act was supposed to be done completely nude, and in context it made sense, but the person who donated a bunch of money to put their name on the theatre got wind of it and made a huge stink about it in town. So, the entire second act was done in skin-toned bodysuits.

The people who know theatre were so upset that our school did it this way. It was a huge letdown.

Now our blackbox experimental theatre, on the other hand, that had some crazy stuff including a masturbation scene in one play and everything. Those shows would only run for three or four nights, though, and I was already doing pro music gigs at that point, so I was never able to attend any of them. :(

What play was it? (If you can share.)

Guy or girl?

Fango

Oh, gosh, the play was done back in 1998? 1999? It was a Holocaust perspective as though it was future dystopia or something. Super complicated storyline, 100s of blanks shot out of a weapon, shipwrecks, and so on. Lots of on-stage fog. But there was supposed to be nearly 20 people nude for the entire second half from intermission until the end, but they were all wearing bodysuits (with bras and underwear under them, so it looked extremely tacky to say the least).

As far as the blackbox productions, the masturbation scene was a guy (I don't know if he finished or not), but other plays had both guys and girls nude, etc. One of the plays had a scene where they were talking about bringing down someone from the audience to strip them, and they would walk around to pick someone out to see how nervous people would get, but they would "change their mind" and not select anyone. The play was called something like "how to make you uncomfortable" or something. Those were the obscure plays that were written by who-knows, and sadly I couldn't attend a single one of them!

Talking about nude opera

That probably died with Corona.

My dream
 

This is my dream. I don’t want to be naked in some cheap way to be seen as Exhibitionist or stripper. But I wish I could participate some noble event like big opera play or something together with more girls. Not to get all the attention but still expose my nude body in front of quite and noble dressed audience including my boyfriend and our friends. (But not family)
I wish everyone saw my nakedness but I could pretend it was my sacrifice to the great art of Mozart or whatever.
Too pity I cannot dance, sing or act :D

Very nice opera indeed.

Here is a naked chorus in an opera that actually happened and was recorded

Hair musical
 

Something similar with singers form Hair musical

Chubbies
 

Thanks for sharing. I notice in the opening scene none of the guys are flaccid and one has quite a stiffy. Now that pays the right complement to those ladies.

Do you know which production this is from?

Nice to see the girls with actual pubic hair in Hair! When I saw the production in London a few years ago, most of the girls were shaved. Not that I minded seeing their slits, especially the attached beauty's slit, but it seemed out of place for a 1960's show.
