    Is there any constellation in which the opera gets to be leftist? I feel like it's either hideously expensive or alternatively subsidized by tax money on the basis of it's "high culture" despite 90% of people not having any interest in it

        Crucialy I have nothing for or against Opera as an art, what pisses me off is that it's seen as "high culture" and subsidized to no end
