Lets please add here that the reason for this is not that the opera house is racist. Hungary was one of the European countries that didn’t trafic with slaves in the past and is not exactly the first choice of black african immigrants either, hence the population is pretty homogeniously caucasian. In fact the black population is so tiny you couldn’t possibly find enough trained black singers to put Porgy and Bess on stage even if you tried.
