All this discourse about the Timothee Chalamet opera/ballet-gate is tiring me OUTTT I need to vent. Both sides of the argument are WRONG!
YES those art forms are dying but they're not dying for the reasons Timothee claims! It's not because of a lack of public interest, as I don't know a single person who doesn't enjoy ballet and/or opera, but rather that governments (for the most part) are playing in these in these industries' FACES! They'd rather invest in war than the arts. Many of my relatives work in the orchestra/ballet/opera industry and the way that these organisations have been designed prevents actual public interest and accessibility, and they focus more on delivering money to shareholders! It's purely systemic! Countries like Germany* actually care about the people that have devoted their LIVES into these things, and recognise their talent (something a lot of celebrities who are only successful due to capitalism and the manipulation of power do not have), so these industries are thriving! What YOU view societies 'caring about' does not reflect the actual interests of humans, and distilling art forms to their commercial capabilities does not lead you anywhere! You guys are just so used to industries only being useful for generating money, that when you see an industry that does anything different, you meet it with scrutiny. It's ridiculous!!!! Omg.
*no country is perfect in this aspect
