Golda Schultz against slimness ideals in opera

Far more interesting than the attempt by the editor-in-chief of "Opernfreund" to capture the body-shaming faux pas are the articles that subsequently appeared, which address the widespread body shaming within the opera world. Soprano Golda Schultz, for example, reports in the Financial Times on eating disorders she developed in an attempt to conform to the opera industry's ideals of slimness. She calls on the current generation of singers to break the rules.
