Does your city have any high culture?

A absolutely horrendous building in a absolutely horrendous city, Bomber Harris do it again.

Why does 'high culture' solely constitute what is meant only for the upper-class?

Name a better German city

Or are you simply mad that the Swiss have no culture except being Ersatzjuden?

looks like a half eaten piece of bread

A shift away from the written and spoken word and romanticised depictions of the mundane when such things became capitalist commodities only afforded to the rich, upper classes.

No it hasn't, in fact high culture being snobbish and vapid is a modern meme.

But why.

I'm lower class. Please use simpler words.

yes

We have The Royal Botanical Gardens which are kinda cool

>expecting a mutt to understand what culture is

you got a lot to learn little boy

From Wikipedia: "High culture encompasses the cultural products of aesthetic value, which a society collectively esteem as exemplary art.[1] It may also include intellectual works considered to be of supreme philosophical, historical, or literary value, as well as the education which cultivates such aesthetic and intellectual pursuits. In popular usage, the term high culture identifies the culture of an upper class (an aristocracy) or of a status class (the intelligentsia); and also identifies a society’s common repository of broad-range knowledge and tradition (e.g. folk culture) that transcends the social-class system of the society. Sociologically, the term high culture is contrasted with the term low culture, the forms of popular culture characteristic of the less-educated social classes, such as the barbarians, the Philistines, and hoi polloi (the masses).[2]"

In other words, High Culture is simply culture that you need to be educated in to appreciate, it has historically been associated with upper class people as they were the ones with the highest levels of education, but as education has become more accessible so has high culture.

My town has a church with an organ designed by Hildebrandt and inspected and tuned by no other than Johann Sebastian Bach.

I would say it's gotten more exclusive.

Really? What do you mean by that? In Canada I would consider events like TIFF, the TSO, various Art Galleries, and events to be high culture, but I would hardly consider them exclusive.

>but as education has become more accessible so has high culture
and still niggerrap is the most popular artform by far among young people, really makes one think

I mean, more accessible=/=more popular.

I've been to TIFF and various art galleries. Some people there seemed to be LARPing, but to me, a real high culture event is mostly upper class people and I would not even know where these things are even held or how to get into one.

Rechdsbobulismus :D :D :D

High culture is a personal choice and to actually like this music and art its kinda weird in young people, I think there may be countries that promotes cultural values but an entire country of high culture sounds imposible, maybe just Austria. In any case one can have culture in many ways, reading, museums, gallerys, movies, music. The building its just a building.

He's right though.

>Swiss
>Culture
Jewing people is not a culture

>inspected and tuned by no other than Johann Sebastian Bach.
he's still alive?

We have the third oldest working theatre in Europe.

What irrelevant city are you from?

Events like that are typically galas or invitation-only events. Think private tours of galleries, black tie events at the Royal York or Chateau Laurier, charity events for building openings at universities and what not. They're all at places where anyone can go, but they events themselves are private.

Alreet lads. This is the Sage Centre in Newcastle. It's for concerts and learning about music. It looks like a big shiny slug.

Wasn't this the one that started with an 80M complete budget and ended up 800M?

You have to be a prominent figure in your field or have a lot of money. If you're an interesting young artist who's attracting attention then you can be expected to get invited to an art event, if you're a researcher of note then you can be expected to be invited to a university event, if you're someone with a lot of money or connections then you can be expected be invited to a gala.

Basically you just need to be someone that other people care about. You don't necessarily have to have money, but people who have money have to care about you.

Still the best :)

you mean the greatest wastenof tax payer money on the world alongside the airfield in berlin amd a couple other useless/pointless structures that were/are being built right now via tax payer money.

then i agree... culture.....

Ah you said MY city. I don't even live in a city kek. The theatre is in the capital city so fuck it.

>that seating arrangement
Neat way to give everyone good sightlines

Ja natürlich - es muss völkisch sein. :)

I would start imagining that as a giant's asshole dropping a dookie onto the audience as I was bored waiting for the show to start.

>being so autistic unoriginal "artist" you try to symbolize everything literally instead of using your own style and insight to build the appropriate structure

It's an opera house sweety, the high culture is inside. Though considering you've never stepped foot inside one, I can't imagine you would have known.
