As a classical musician, I run into this sort of situation a lot. There are so many old songs and entire operas and whatnot that are objectively good, enjoyable music, but the lyrics and stories are just...really scuzzy by today's standards. Or just downright offensive. Finding a balance between understanding the time period and not driving away your modern audience is one of those ongoing debates that can cause some pretty epic ragefests in the classical music world. Sometimes you've just gotta put something into the vault though and leave the original versions for the history nerds to discuss while the audience enjoys a modified version.

I agree.

On the other hand, it almost feels twice as awesome when an old opera has a really awesome libretto or plot or character. It feels like you're getting away with something.

I'm feeling you. I love Cats the Musical, and I would want it to have more content to shuffle about but uh. Growltiger's Last Stand did NOT age well, and truth be told, the Peke and Pollicles has some problematic, anti-Chinese lines that I think are still sung even in recent productions.
