How interested are you in "the arts?"

I think NY would be a great place to take in the most of the arts, but you can go to plays, symphonys, etc. I pass something on t.v. now and then and do a dead stop in this area to watch performers. I like to see ballet too, since childhood...

Any others out there feel the same way?

Re: How interested are you in ""the arts?""

I am a supporter of the Arts. I enjoy most all. I was given piano, drawing/painting, dance - ballet, tap, modern dance as a child. Ice skating though I didn't care for that and I sang with the girls in a choir. I so enjoy Opera too as well as stage. New York would be a good place to take in most of the arts but other large metropolitan cities offer them as well.

A good post with heart warming memories and hopes of future attendances.

Meant to add I enjoy visiting the Art Galleries and Museums as well as musical performances and film viewings.

Re: How interested are you in ""the arts?""

I love the arts and living close to Philadelphia I can enjoy many of them. I love ballet, I saw Swan Lake performed by the Royal London Ballet. I saw a Renoir exhibition when it toured in the US. I love Opera and have seen several including Madame Butterfly. Not to mention all the good musicals at the Academy of Music and Walnut street theater.

NYC may have the most art as a major city in the US, but I think Philadelphia is a great place to enjoy the arts along with it's history. It is an experience to walk the streets and tour the buildings where America's government began.

Luckily I live in Southern California where I can enjoy great performances of all types- My parents were great supporters of the arts and took me to so many performances as a child- I ,in turn, took my own son to the same- in fact, my daughter in law often tells me me I "ruined" him for her, because he has already seen so many great plays and performances that when they go to New York and other places, he no longer has anything "new" to see! ( not exactly true,as there is always something new!) but you get the idea-

We have many great theaters and museums here- My mother was an artist and we went to art exhibits regularly as well ( she was a Matisse fanatic!)

Come on Galzelle, you must have attended some musical performance in your past - a concert of some kind. You must also have viewed a film or two. If you have or had little ones didn't they perform at some play, dance/musical recital?

I never go to movies, nor rent them. I wait until they come out on TV. I saw Titanic about 5 years after if had come out! Just me... I just do not need to see the newest movie. I went to an Opera when I was 12 FORCED TO GO when my school class went. I hated it so much I never went to one again. Do not like ballet or dancing . Never been to a concert live... too loud( as are movie theaters) and I hate loud. No children( thank goodness!) I have many interests that just do not have to do with the arts. To each his own I say! Touche!

I enjoy live performances on any scale.
