pherank Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 An Unlikely Youth Revolution at the Paris Opera By TOBIAS GREYFEB. 19, 2018https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/19/arts/music/paris-opera-young-audiences.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Farts "According to the company, it had 95,000 audience members younger than 28 last season — more than 10 percent of tickets sold and 30,000 more than just two years before." “What I think was a mistake at the opera was for many years to persist with a number of productions which were locked into purely vocal performance,” Mr. Lissner said. “Today’s spectators are looking for more than that. They want to experience something theatrical as well. That’s what brings young people to the opera.” Link to comment
