Video report

[A controversial rape scene in
a production at the Royal Opera House
has been toned down after criticism
from the audience on the opening night.
There was "hostile and prolonged
booing" when a female character
in Gioachino Rossini's Guillaume Tell
(William Tell) was attacked during
a banquet by a group of army officers.
Opera bosses originally said there
were no plans to change it but now
appear to have bowed to pressure
and cut out certain sections of the
scene, which contained full frontal nudity.]


The singer said they should have not changed it.
