OPERA IS A PERFECTLY NORMAL WORKING CLASS PASSTIME here in Bulgaria - every city has at least one opera house if not multiple... I was fortunate to live next to the outdoor opera house and listened to the performances every night. People would take their even meal on the grass in the park outside on a summer's evening and have the opera in the background. Making the arts the purview of the common man is one thing we have communism to thank for. [actually, we have a LOT to thank communism for here]

@Matt Quinn - Caledonian Television - Thats my point. Making it needlessly elite is what has killed it. Wealth is being concentrated in ever fewer hands and people hate everything associated with them. That included opera.Tonight its "Little Red Riding Hood - a Bellet for Children" at our opera house, Tickets £2.50 and its almost sold out Only boxes available at £8.50 a person.

@Matt Quinn - Caledonian Television - "The Caledonian Television Company™ is still owned and run by its founder, Matt Quinn; an ITV-trained cameraman - and former Lecturer in Television ..." I say this with total sincerity and your best interests at heart. DONT USE YOUR REAL MANE AND PROFESSION ON YOUTUBE IF YOU ARE GOING TO ANNOY PEOPLE I used to do that, I'm an author, I'm an author who sells 60% fewer books than I used to because I angered a nut job on YT comments and he got his fellow nut jobs to leave malicious negative reviews on all my books... I got them removed but the damage is everlasting. You WILL run across a nut job who dedicated their life to destroying yours, just because you hurt their feelings.

@Matt Quinn - Caledonian Television - Turns out you're the f-king nut job. NO I'm trying to be helpful you f-king nut job. Goodbye - nut job. BTW - typical ex-copper - you try to be nice and they turn around and accuse you. Nasty f-ukers all of them.

@nickbarton3191 - Yes I miss living there - but I had a terrible con man as a landlord... He had ME pay for a lot of work that needed doing on the property and then got an eviction notice whilst I was in hospital.
