The Challenge of "Culture"

[Gemini Cricket]

For me, the Opera sometimes bores me if they don't supply you with a translation if it is in a foreign tongue. Most especially when it's one I am not familiar with. 'La Boheme' I could sit through without a translation.

Classical music is wonderful but I have fallen asleep during a couple of concerts. I guess it is lack of some sort of storyline or plot. I know that's pretty pathetic of me, but I need that often.

Ballet and dance concerts are fun to watch sometimes, but that to leaves me feeling bored if it is a piece I don't connect to.

The majority of the opera performances, classical music concerts and dance concerts I have been to I went because I knew someone involved with the production. On my own, I'm not sure if I'd go.

Money is also a factor. Tickets can be pricey.

Also at any function, if I find the crowd too bourgeois*, I begin to detest the particular function I'm at.

*I don't know if that's how you spell it. I've said it lots and lots but I think this is the first time I spelled out the word... (It sounds like: boozh-wa)
