> There was once agreement on what "high culture" was - classic paintings, symphonies, opera, and ballet. Those are the art forms that have stone palaces downtown. Those forms have lost some social significance in the last few decades Which is a great shame, because there is incredible beauty in those art forms that many people nowadays miss completely. All because we somehow gave the high culture/classic arts the labels "snobby", "stuffy", "boring", "unintelligible"...
