When I was growing up there was this popular idea that light opera was more accessible than grand opera. That may have been the case back then because the popular music that light opera used as a connective tissue to grand opera was still much closer to popular culture than it is today. Now it almost feels to me that certain grand operas would be more accessible than operettas.
