Also Operas aren't necessarily much more expensive than a cinema ticket. Some Opera houses have reasonable prices.
~20 min clicking through the wikipedia page on Opera seems to suggest you're correct, most of them were middle class or poor
huh. til
Many classical composers were basically like pets rich people owned (sponsored).
My wife graduated in the opera arts. Now teaching because the money is better and more reliable.
You don't need to be rich to go to your local theater. Theater can be great
As our home screens got bigger and the price got higher and the experience worse I stopped going to the movies entirely; but theater I do still go a few times a year
Meme upvotes are determined by bot armies. Memes are created and curated by rich people regularly as a way for them to speak in the voice of poor people. Scab memes if you'd like.
I'm guessing you're pretty young and don't remember the garbage memes from the early 2000s. Zero content required from rich people.
I do remember them we need to get back to those beautiful pieces of artwork memes are too commercialized now lmao
It pisses me off when memes are coopted by corporations. That should be illegal.
