I don’t think it’s that the crowd doesn’t like it..but the general public is more familiar with pop music than classical…pop music will get people’s attention quicker than classical..I think once you have the an audiences attention you can drop in some classical music like she did here Classical music(opera, chamber music, choir ensemble)is about the same ticket price as many pop music concerts so I don’t think it’s a matter of it not being accessible to the public at large…most of it was written in a past era so it doesn’t resonate with many people under 40
