Opera is expensive: that much is inevitable. But expensive things are not inevitably the province 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
歌剧很昂贵:这是不可避免的。然而昂贵的东西不一定非得成为富人独霸的领域,除非社会放弃了选择的权利。你可以选择使歌剧以及其他昂贵的文化形式为那些本来个人负担不起的人能负担得起。问题在于:为什么要这么做?所有人都不否认食品、住房、防卫、健康和教育等绝对必要。即使是在原始的洞穴里,人类伸出手来不仅仅是为了吃东西、喝水或者打仗,他还要画画儿。对文化的冲动、通过想象和形象表达和探索世界的欲望是人们原本就有的。在欧洲,我们可以从那些音乐、艺术、文学以及戏剧名著中找到充分的体现。这些名著是我们力量的试金石;它们是试金石,检验出人类的思想和想象力可以激励出怎样的可能性;它们传达出深奥的信息,这信息可以从一个人传给另一个人。
