    This is fine but Cleopatra was Greek, we don't know what her skin tone was, she certainly was not 'fair'.

      Perfect. I was going to say the same thing, but you have already said.

      I think opera goers care more about her voice than her skin color.

      When you pick people on skin colour and not on merit, people will not know if they are their on their own merits.

    She is a very fine singer indeed. But the way the video is constructed is pure wokism. By the way, Cleopatra was from Greek, and not African, origin.

      And Marie Antoinette was Austrian, but she was still queen of France ;)
