why is opera much more pricey than ballet then?

supply and demand I suspect

thanks all for the comments. i will certainly bear this in mind for the future and be more vigilant with the listings . sadly waaaay past student days and in the provinces too ....

dinny - I think also it is because ballet dancers are paid peanuts (even the big stars) and opera singers (the international names) are expensive.
