As for so-called high culture ... I despise opera and ballet. Mind you, I LOVE LOVE and LOVE dance, but ballet is far from my favorite form of it. Opera, to me, is absurd if you don't understand the language of the piece. That rules out 98.6% of opera for me.
I guess I'm more lowbrow in my tastes of musical theater and dance, both of which I adore. I happen to love classical music, so I'm pretty highbrow there .... however, I would get kicked out of bougeouis salon society if they ever learned that I consider film scores to be the classical music of our day, and love them accordingly. John Williams or Ludwig von Beethovan, it's all orchestral masterwork to me.
