      Yes I but i think its gatekeeping and pretentious. The elites just use old classical as their thing.

        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

        100% there’s a culture of gatekeeping and elitism all too common around classical music - but it’s not the music’s fault

          Well I spoke to several music enthusiasts irl and we cant tell why anyone would play those ancient scores other than its technically difficult. It doesn’t sound good.
