Lol, thinking opera composers were rich people.
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 know your field is fucked when people are becoming teachers for the higher pay.
The players aren’t rich either, nor most of the singers.
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.
memes: easy as F to produce propaganda for the rich of any country to use on the poor of any other country
Probably depends on where you live but for example in Austria, you can be poor and are still able to go and to enjoy the theater or opera.
Instructions unclear, I am now the fat lady.
What are video games? And what about books?
Video Games: By smart people, for dumb people Books: by smart people, for smart people Art: by dumb people, for smart people NFTs: by dumb people, for dumb people
And it’s some shitty messaging app meme. Jesus
Where does factor into it? Unless he’s an after-market and very-divorced dealer down at the used meme dealership.
No one’s paying for memes though unlike all the other options.
You guys don’t pay for your memes? Damn.

Ugh. 😖
Memes are the DNA of the soul!
memes still require content created by the rich people
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.
