Opera is expensive: that much is inevitable.But expensive things are not inevitably the province of the rich unless we abdicate society’s power of choice.We can choose to make opera, and other expensive forms of culture, accessible to those who cannot individually pay for it.The question is: why should we? Nobody denies the imperatives of food, shelter, defence, health and education.But even in a prehistoric cave, mankind stretched out a hand not just to eat, drink or fight, but also to draw.The impulse towards culture, the desire to express and explore the world through imagination and representation, is fundamental.In Europe, this desire has found fulfillment in the masterpieces of our music, art, literature and theatre.These masterpieces are the touchstones for all our efforts; they are the touchstones for the possibilities to which human thought and imagination may aspire; they carry the most profound messages that can be sent from one human to another.
选项
答案
歌剧是高雅、奢侈的艺术,因此观看歌剧的票价很昂贵是必然的。然而昂贵的事物并不只属于富人,除非我们放弃社会赋予我们的选择权。我们有权选择让那些凭借个人能力却无力支付的人走近歌剧和其他昂贵的文化形式。问题是:我们为何要这么做?没有人会否认食物、房屋、防卫健康和教育的必要性。但即使是在史前洞穴里,人类的活动并不只包括吃喝或打斗,还有涂涂画画。借助想象及表现来表达、探索世界欲望的这种文化冲动是人类的基本欲望。在欧洲,这种欲望通过经典的音乐、美术、文学和戏剧作品来实现。这些经典是检验我们所有成果的标准;它们是人类思想和想象力可能达到的高度的试金石;同时还承载着人类之间可相互传达的最深刻的信息。
