Yes, Yes, we all know it is about Margaret Duchess of Argyle, who after falling down a lift shaft went totally loopy, but is it a suitable subject for an Opera?  AND written by a man, not from a deranged female persepective at all, not from her viewpoint/mindset.  And, again, generating schoolboy sniggers allround for gratification of men?  I have seen it btw before anyone brings up The Daily Maul again.

I thought it was gross.  I will leave it at that and say no more on the subject

Well, I thought there were some musically interesting things going on, that surtitles were needed but that overall, while I don't think it's something I'd go out of my way to see again.
