    Opera can actually be kinda fun, especially if it’s in a language you understand. It’s (mis)understood to be stuffy and boring now, but back in the day it was low-brow entertainment.

      Honestly I think it’s worse when it’s a language I understand since it makes the sing-talking a lot more frustrating to listen to for me

      Trying to rack my brain for english operas, I played pit for GianCarlo Menotti’s the old maid and the thief, a fun 20th century one.

      Most of what comes to mind is older baroque stuff tho

    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
