It is not an opera for everyone that is certain. The themes and imagery can be triggering for some. That is not to say it isn't worth experiencing or that it is bad in any way. Just be mindful of yourself if you choose to dive in.
"A harrowing tale constructed around a transcendentally gentle theme." is a very accurate description.
