Can we have some more of that Arts Ciyncil Money Niy?' opera-for-everyone tickets. If it's all supposed to be about the music, then why not wear joggy bottoms and stand in a kitchen? In a very nicely acousticated kitchen?" -- Anna Pickard on opera. At the basic level I find it very hard to disagree.
