　　For a 400-year-old art form, peras had a bad fame: overweight actresses singing the words which are hard to understand in one of those romance（浪漫）languages you were supposed to learn in high school. And with tickets costing as much as $ 145 a perform-ance, opera goers also have a certain appear-ance in people's mind; ich, well-dressed and old.

　　But now opera companies around the country are loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes in an attempt to bring the opera to the audience it needs to keep it alive, he young and not-so-rich.

　　Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd, they need to make the opera closer to common people. That means no formal suits, old styled theatre or bank-breaking ticket prices. And because young people don't or won't come to the opera, companies are bringing the opera to them, giving perform-ances in such usual places as parks, libraries and public schools.

　　The Houston Grand Opera'S choice is the public library, where it performs “mobile operas”, shortened versions（劇本）of child-friendly operas. This summer's production is Hansel & Gretel. By performing smaller versions of large productions, producers are able to make people interested while keeping costs at a reasonable level. The San Francisco Opera, which will celebrate its 75th anniversary（周年紀(jì)念）this year, is staging Cinderella free of charge, keeping costs down by employing students from its Young Artists' Training Program.
