Adrineh Simonian was on stage as an opera singer for 16 years. Now she is a porn producer and tells what goes on behind the scenes of the opera scene: sex, abuse of power and a lot of hypocrisy.
The word that changed Adrineh Simonian’s life was spoken in the canteen of an opera. A chorister could not control his volume in conversation. “Porn!” It echoed through the room. The heads of opera singers, conductors and artistic directors snapped around. As if what their ears had just heard was unimaginable, taboo. This is how Adrineh Simonian tells it. The opera singer at the time also turned her head, first staring at the choristers and then at her colleagues. And at the same time asked himself: How hypocritical are we?
