[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've gotten a bunch of instagram ads for ballet yesterday and today, and one mentioned "tickets as low as $29" so obviously it IS having a positive effect.[/quote]

Chalamet has brought more attention to ballet and opera than they've had in years. They should be grateful.

Wish some rich people/foundations/organizations would now make a huge push and give out free tickets en masse to schools, etc., to get people by the truckload to see what they've been missing.[/quote]

Instead of yet another zoo field trip why aren't the schools taking kids to these performances?[/quote]

One reason is that schools, pushed by parents, focus less on the arts in general. There has been a push to focus on STEM. A lot of parents would say "what's the point" about a ballet company coming and doing a short performance for the kids, but they'll be thrilled at a science demonstration even if it's hack-y and not particularly informative. Parents don't want their kids going into the arts.[/quote]
