George Floyd's Fidelio

If you want to write an opera about George Floyd, do it. Do not say that Beethoven's Fidelio is about George Floyd. It's not. This is a trend that's been going on in Europe and the U.S. for a long time,. A talentless director decides to commandeer a work from the past and impose his own totally predictable political views on that work because he has no capacity himself to create something anew.
