I drew the line when Vikengs:Valhalla introduced a black woman as a DEI version of Håkon Eiriksson. Jessye Norman in the Sieglinde of the Met's production of 'Die Walküre' was bad enough but you have to cut opera some slack. Singers that can handle the demanding roles often don't look much like the characters. James Levine conducted that one and appeared on the DVDs during some of the sequences. I wasn't very surprised by the later allegations. I can gloss over the brilliant black hackers and so forth in movies but there is a line. It's only a rumor so far but Eliot (nee Ellen) Page in the Achilles role would be tough to swallow. Ain't enough CGI to make a 5' tall former girl into a Greek warrior.
