Why is there hardly any classical theater today?

I'd be interested in old theater, with real costumes and sets, like you see in old pictures. But you hardly find anything like that anymore.

The last time my grandma went to the theater, she was frustrated: people were constantly shouting vulgar, perverse terms.

We also went to the theater with school from time to time. But no one wore costumes anymore, and the scripts were often improvised. That's all justified, but I just don't feel like going there.

Because there’s no one except you and a couple of blew.

The silent movie has also served.

I don’t understand why this is so exclusive, even though I like modern theatres (not everything naturally…)

That’s kind of a very German thing. It’s not like that in England or America. In the area of the opera, for example, the Vienna State Opera or the MET in NYC are very traditional…

I’m just like ballet, but I think there’s no more intendants to stage something like this, because they want to be modern and innovative.

Visit the performances of foreign ballet groups, which sometimes lead to German cities. For example, there is the ballet Napoli, which have beautiful scenery and costumes

In general, there are hardly any theatres because they don’t finance themselves – the demand is no longer so high. That is why there are often state theatres funded by the state.

Theatre is art, that must provoke – that I would say to your grandma:)

Since the 1968 ideology, this is based on the contempt of the so-called educational bourgeoisie and because the anti-education worker would only visit a theatre if the performances were as primitive and ordinary as possible, just vulgar to obscene. This social class is just that.

The power of the ideas of marketing idiots came to this: “The new is basically the better!” Because the morally negative, the ugly, the perverse revalues people for their natural sensationality for buying, for consumption, for satisfaction, is the morally good, the beauty, the healthy automatically no truth, but purely beautifying Kitsch, superficial glare.

And meanwhile, the whole thing blurs and mixes due to the lack of intelligence or lack of skills or desire of the theatermakers. That’s why they say “Director theatre“, probably because you still didn’t invent stupid anglicism for it.

On youtube, for example, there are, fortunately, recordings and filmings of many dramas that consciously aim at the age of the faithful to the work, so that the audience can associate themselves with the entire content, adapt itself to the present and individualize it.

PS: By the way, I belong to those who know that with the grammatically male term “theatermakers” people of different biological genders are meant, which obviously does not consider gender-professionals possible in their inconceivable superiority.
