My wife graduated in the opera arts. Now teaching because the money is better and more reliable.

Also Operas aren’t necessarily much more expensive than a cinema ticket. Some Opera houses have reasonable prices.

~20 min clicking through the wikipedia page on Opera seems to suggest you’re correct, most of them were middle class or poor

Many classical composers were basically like pets rich people owned (sponsored).

Meme upvotes are determined by bot armies. Memes are created and curated by rich people regularly as a way for them to speak in the voice of poor people. Scab memes if you’d like.

I’m guessing you’re pretty young and don’t remember the garbage memes from the early 2000s. Zero content required from rich people.
