    The cost was spread over several years. And at 25€ a ticket this doesn’t just serve the elite. The building is also a cultural landmark, so preserving it is of social interest, and the money spent went straight back into the local economy, where it was swiftly taxed again.

    These arguments are lazy, find better ones.

      Have you ever seen the people who go into the opera?

      Yes, if you would spread it over 30 years, it would still be €300-400 per ticket.

      Find better excuses for wasting taxpayers money on a handful of peoples entertainment.

        When cheap tickets are available: everyone. Artistic expression is human nature, commodification is repression.
