Fatness and Body Image in Classical Music
A prevalent stereotype exists of classical musicians, particularly singers, that they’re all big fat lads with viking horns. However beauty standards have never been higher in the industry, and nor have eating disorders. Looking at a study into disordered eating, as well as the commentary around Yuja Wang and Khatia Buniatishvili and the castrated singers of before, I try to quash these stereotypes.
