Sex & Nudity

  • Nudity is very mild and it's limited to a few wall paintings in Rome's historical settings, most "explicitly" a topless Mary Magdalen in Act 1. Sex is not depicted, but the main villain tries to commit sexual coercion through threats.

Violence & Gore

  • Acts of violence sparse, and are either implied or are depicted in a non-realistic manner. Depictions of blood are sparsely depicted but they're mostly dramatic red stains which fall pretty much within PG guidelines. Acts of violence are either implied (hidden out of view, for example behind a closed door) or are depicted non-realistically and dramatically. The only "gore" which can be seen as a little tasteless (but still extremely mild) is at the end of Act 3 after "O Scarpia, avanti a Dio!"

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Implied torture, implied almost-rape and a stabbing: Act 2 is quite intense but the question of whether it's child-friendly is difficult to answer as it's unlikely a child would understand the subtext of sexual coercion. The stabbing, while not explicitly gory, is intense in terms of music and camerawork.
