| Abstract | The paper aims to explore attitudes of university students towards opera and ballet. The survey was conducted in Slovakia amongst 900 students from different fields of study. Four main findings are of interest: (1) The most important motives of opera and ballet-goers were consistently identified as a desire to experience a “live“ performance, to see a particular piece, interest in the genre in general and to go out with friends or family. (2) Main barriers perceived by non-attendees were a fear of boredom, lacking knowledge about opera and ballet and lacking interest in these genres in the people from their surroundings. (3) Concerning the expectations related to opera and ballet performances students put at the first places emotions, atmosphere of the venue or event, broadening own’s scope in culture and relaxation. (4) The field of study had not a significant influence on attitudes and the attendance of students. |
