We got reciprocated functions but how do we utilise them in exponential trigonometric functions?

Calculus Level 3

Evaluate to 2 decimal places.

0 π sin csc ( x ) ( x ) d x \large \displaystyle \int_0^{\pi} \sin^{\csc(x)}(x)\, \mathrm{d}x


The answer is 1.66.

Brute force: create a 50 term Taylor series expansion and then numerically integrate the series from 0 0 to π \pi : 1.66504399816, The series is a mess so large that the LaTeX \LaTeX of the series cannot be included.

The answer apparently is not 5 3 \frac53 as, even when working with 200 digit simulated floating point, the answer is:

1.66504399815638159256367539767815492775949753925341850565583330192562 8778785504346403548954543604444849101306137475440074843711581710218528 7641270510528079508665973032975689767260095886296429335425740 1.66504399815638159256367539767815492775949753925341850565583330192562\\ 8778785504346403548954543604444849101306137475440074843711581710218528\\ 7641270510528079508665973032975689767260095886296429335425740
