Opera is expensive： that much is inevitable. But expensive things are not inevitably the province of 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.
