The Minack Theatre in Porthcurno, Cornwall, cancels its run of Léo Delibes’s opera “Lakmé” following criticism from Rajan Zed. Zed, who has publicly objected to what he describes as cultural insensitivity in the production, characterized it as “shallow exoticism based on prejudice.” After the comments were raised, the theatre recalls the show, ending the planned performance run. The reports describe the decision as a direct response to the criticism, citing the remarks made by Zed. The coverage centers on the theatre’s recall of the production rather than on any changes to the opera itself or on additional public feedback. Neither source provides further detail on the specific elements that Zed says are problematic, nor does it include statements from the theatre addressing the broader artistic or historical context of the opera. The events reported relate to the recall of the “Lakmé” production at the Minack Theatre.
