| The kwestions was just a desperate desire to be noticed.... The curtain calls were not 'milked'> I would happily have kept on applauding... One thing I noticed this ABT visit ,as well as the last one, was,more that at the opera(which is what I usually see at the Detroit Opera House) a large contingent of girls with their mothers parents grandmothers. I'm thinking that young girls love Ballet more than Opera; Also I read, somewhere, that Missy Copeland has a major Detroit Fan club/ | |

| It's not just that young girls love ballet more than opera. Many, many of them study ballet; it's one of the major pass-times for young girls; studying opera, not so much. Also dance classes are a group event, shared by friends, so logically they often go as a group to the ballet. Voice is a solitary study. db |

| Opera has become the realm of the blue-haired set. I really feel it's dying quickly, at least in the US. | |

| On one hand, I don't mean to dismiss your opinions outright. On the other hand, I've been hearing "opera is dying, theatre is dying, Broadway is dying," etc, most of my life. But they're NOT dead. They never have been. No matter how may times they have been declared as such. No use permitting some prophet of doom to wipe all the arts away...;-) |
