Florentina Holzinger’s Stuttgart production of Hindemith’s Sancta Susanna has hit the British tabloids after audience members complained of sickness and fainting at the sight of rollerskating naked nuns and an actor pulling down Jesus Christ’s loincloth on the cross.

In an earlier scene, Jesus spanks a nun’s naked bottom.

A representative of the opera company said those who suffered adverse symptoms were sitting in the front rows.
