    Opera was originally art for the masses. I get the thing about everyone thinking its elitest but i was brought up by 2 generations of working class people who loved opera and classical music. Worked at the Derby Playhouse, its just elitist because its in movies and stuff a lot

      Oh that’s interesting. didn’t know that. I figured it was expensive since it “needed” and opera house so it was elitist because of pricing. Maybe it just became that way like you said.
