The above link refers to the premiere of the first Mexican opera to deal directly with the country's drugs conflict in Mexico City.

"Out of the last 20 years, I would say, this is the one opera that is telling us a story that is not only on everyone's mind, but also in the headlines. It is how Mexico is perceived outside as well," Jose Arean, Musical Director.

Do you think that this type of genre should be banned or encouraged in the arts?
