"I think I got disappointed over the years, about New York, about the States. You know, sometimes you go and visit Europe and see good old socialism in its good part! You see public concern about art, and young people's participation and young faces in the audience. Then you arrive in the states and it is $150.00 to go to an opera. Ridiculous. We have so much young talent on the streets, but because everything is commercial, they finally drift away from the dream of their life." (Baryshnikov to Ismene Brown 2-2-04)
This quote hit home today as I was thinking about the financial crisis our country is in and wondering about how many children often get left behind.
