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, defense, 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
欣赏歌剧不可避免地要支付昂贵的票价。不过,昂贵的事物不一定都是有钱人的专利,除非我们自愿放弃社会选择权利。我们可以选择让歌剧和其他昂贵的文化表现形式为无法独自支付的普通大众所享受。问题是:我们为什么要这么做呢?每个人都承认食物、庇护场所、安全防护、健康和教育的重要性。但是,甚至在史前的石洞生活时代,人类伸手就不仅仅是为了吃、喝以及搏斗,他们还为了绘画。对文化的冲动、通过想象力和其他表现手法表达并探索世界的欲望是人类最基本的特征。在欧洲,这种欲望是通过我们的音乐、艺术、文学和戏剧杰作实现的。这些杰作是我们人类努力的试金石;他们是人类思想和想象力所能达到的高度的试金石;他们承载着人类可以相互传递的最深刻的信息。
