have you been to see live theatre/opera/concert?

All three. Opera is my least favourite of those three. I also love ballet.

a football or rugby game?
• a theme park?
• a music festival?

Football - once, but going to a work event with Dh in a biz at the football in a couple of weeks. Not been to a proper rugby game though I have seen a baseball game and cricket live. I'm not really into sport though so not my thing.

Theme park - yes, love coasters 🎢 The fast the better!

Festival - yes, though not for a little while. I don't like the camping aspect but love the music and atmosphere hits.

Music concerts - several from smaller concerts in a pub right up to big stadium and open air concerts over the years.

I've never been to an opera or classical concert and have absolutely no desire to.

I've been to two local amateur productions (Kinky Boots and Made in Dagenham) both of which were fantastic. I also took my daughter to see the Stranger Things show in the West End last year which was absolutely outstanding.

My mam dragged me to watch Cats once when I was a teenager and it was dire which put me off for many years, all three shows I've been to see have been after the age of 35.

Yes to all three of the OP's questions. My DM was a music scholar and my uncle is a conductor/composer so we grew up in that environment, and I'm introducing my own children to it. We tend to go to and see musical theatre most, but I also went to a couple of the Proms last year, and saw Hamnet while it was in London.

But also... yes to all three of the quoted. Rugby rather than football (DH takes the DC to the football), done Disney Paris and Tokyo, and I went to two music festivals last year.

It doesn't have to be one or the other 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've been to the theatre several times and love the experience. My Dd adores going and regularly goes, as a young adult, and this has encouraged Dh and I to go more often too.

I've not been to the opera or a classical concert as they aren't my interest.

The issue with the theatre for many people is cost. It can be very expensive to go and watch a show.

In London it's often easier as there is far more options and also a much bigger opportunity to get cheap tickets last minute via a variety of apps. Local theatres rarely have reduced prices even in the day if the show, but even for shows with many seats unsold. I find that annoying.

All, lots, off my own bat and starting as a teenager, because I was curious. I was lucky to be brought up in a northern city with weekly Hallé Orchestra concerts and a producing theatre, to be taken on a school trip to Stratford-on-Avon at 16, and to go to university in London at a time when you could stand in the slips at Covent Garden for £2. DD began playing instruments in juniors, because she wanted to, and reached grade 8. DD's boyfriend, however, hadn't been to a classical concert until he met her. The family are all scientists and very sporty so have different interests.

All three.

To be honest, I don’t think musical theatre or plays are in the same category as opera, classical concerts or ballet. You’ll see much more uptake for the former. Much more.

Opera - no, it doesn’t appeal to me
Theatre - many times
Classical Concert - a few times
Ballet - a couple of times
Non-classical Concert - many times
Football/Rugby - once, it’s not my thing. I have travel a lot, including air travel, to watch show jumping which is the sport I do enjoy
Theme Parks - many times
Festivals - 2 or 3 times, not really my thing

Writing this down makes me realize how privileged I am. These things are expensive. I do not live near a city like London (I’m not in the UK). The fact that I/my parents when I was a kid could afford the travel and entrance to these things makes me very lucky.

Oh I've just remembered my Brownie group once went to a performance of The Gondoliers because one of our owls was in it. I don't remember anything about it now though as it was many decades ago.

Opera - once and it was at the Sydney opera house, we only went for the experience as it's not something I would have chosen. Saying that we are going to an opera later on this year
Theatre - love the theatre. I go a lot with my daughters, we watch musicals and ballet (Matthew Bourne ballet). We also do the panto every year. I adore the theatre
Classical concert- does this mean classical music or just concerts. I've been (and performed in classical concerts). We love live music so we go to a lot of gigs, mainly rock. Again it's something we like to do as a family, I'm lucky my kids like the same music we do. We have about 7 gigs planned this year.
Festivals -- yep, Download but I have done V when I was younger
Live comedy - yes, love live comedy
Live football - I used to watch football a lot when I was a teen but not so much now. Also went to rugby matches, and a lot of motor sport such as F1 and motorbikes like the GP and superbikes
Theme parks - we go quite a bit as a family.

Oh don't be an inverted snob.
Yes to all the OP said, plus all of yours, plus ballet (my preferred live music genre). I am surprised that people still think that people who like opera wouldn't enjoy sport or rollercoasters. What's wrong with trying a bit of everything?

Just b) but then I have zero interest in the others. I guess the question is why is it surprising? That’s like someone who loves football saying it’s surprising someone has never been to a football match.

If by a live show, you mean a play or musical at the theatre, then yes numerous times. I adore going to the theatre, I'd go more, but it's expensive. I recently went to see a ballet at the theatre (first time and enjoyed it) and I have been to see a classical concert twice. I have seen several bands live at concert venues too.

A- No
B- Yes
C-Yes

All three,but classical concerts very regularly and I have a subscription.Not just large orchestral concerts but also recitals and chamber performances.

Yes to all 3
opera, theatre and concerts
and also to the other 3!!!
Football, theme parks and music festival.
My teens have done all also except the opera.
I am like OP and imagine that most people have done all of them and would be surprised if they haven't.

When I did my degree I decided to go to one opera and one ballet before I graduated, to take advantage of the student prices and find out if I enjoyed them.

I thought the ballet dancers were incredibly talented, and I was bored senseless.
I started crying about 10 minutes into the opera, and couldn't stop. It was amazing.

Today I go to the opera numerous times a year (usually using the cheap standing tickets!).
But I also watch pro snooker, go to theme parks etc.

(And have done 1, 2 and 3 on your list

I've been to all of these and all OPs options though I don't really enjoy opera, rugby or festivals so prob wouldn't go again unless invited.
(Also like dance and normal gigs, museums and art galleries, live comedy and arty cinemas.) I'm not English so it's more time and money that constrains what I do

I am from a family of professional musicians so theatre and live music - yes. I love classical performances and theatre.

I have been to an opera but it is not something I would regularly go to, I would go to see a ballet performance instead.

I probably attend at least 6 live performances per year as do my DC.

Opera - no, only operetta (love my G&S)
Live classical concert - not regularly, but occasionally since childhood.
Live theatre production - god yes. Love the RSC.
Live ballet performance - handful of times.

Opera - never must add to the to do list

Theatre - yes

Classical concert- yes

Festivals -- yes

Live comedy - yes

Live football, cricket -- yes

Live theatre yes.

Opera or classical.music concert no. Not my thing.

Yes to all, music more than theatre as the latter seems so expensive. Love it!

All 3.

Mostly B. I live in London so theatre very accessible.

A. Maybe once or twice a year. Opera Holland Park mostly. Also went to opera in Budapest recently.

I wouldn’t choose a classical concert over the other 2 except if relatives are performing/organising.

You have a point: there's an element of snobbery about this.

I've been to all three and enjoyed all three and would personally prefer any of the things you list to a football match or theme park (though I love a music festival) and I think everyone should experience each at least once.

But I think you're being a bit naive to imagine that everyone "should" have done these things. Opera is not a default pastime for a large amount of the population and it can hardly come as a surprise that not everyone has done this. Nor does failure to go to the opera regularly automatically mean someone is uncultured or unimaginative.
