Futbol, What difference does it make if classical music is ´mainstream or not?
The concept of this website is not exactly mainstream. My point was that it is the obligation of the state to encourage its people to understand, value and appreciate the arts. The elitism represented in the wild pricing of Teatro Colon tickets runs counter to that objective. You ask how many Americans attend concerts or arts events. I don´t think that´s the point. The point is that it is THERE, almost always accessible and genuine efforts are made to broaden the horizons of young people and to encourage them to understand and appreciate the arts, or even to make a career in the arts if they want.
