The Frau went to see
the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) last Saturday night. They were playing for
the third year at the Morton Arboretum in Chicago’s western suburbs. The
concert was wonderful. It made The Frau want to see more of the CSO. Except…
Here’s the thing.
Going to most musical events or shows can be a time-consuming, stressful, and
costly thing to do in the U.S.
Even with the CSO
playing closer to The Frau than in their usual downtown location, this still meant a 25-minute drive to the Arboretum
each way, not to mention having to wait another 30 minutes after the show was
over just to be able to leave the parking lot due to all congestion. (The
Arboretum is not public transport accessible, in case you’re wondering.)
Anyway—The Frau was
interviewing an American music professor at a German university on Monday. This
professor thought that classical music had much more support in Germany and in
Europe than in the U.S. The Frau asked her way.
“Because you can walk
to it,” she said.
The Frau never thought
about the arts and the support of the arts this way. But this, dear yodelers, may
be exactly the reason that arts organizations struggle in the U.S.
When The Frau worked
in Zurich, she would just walk over to the Zurich Opera House (a mere
four-minute walk from her office) to see a performance. There was no driving,
parking, or stress on her time. When the performance was over, she simply
caught a direct train to her village, which left from the station a five-minute
walk from the Opera House. This train came every 15 minutes, no matter the time
of day or night. When she got to her village, she walked three minutes to her apartment.
Compare this to The
Frau’s father in Chicago. He would also walk over to the Lyric Opera of Chicago
after work. But then he would strategically leave the opera before the
performance was over so he could rush to the train station to take a ridiculously
slow train back to his Chicago suburb (that only ran once an hour in the evenings) home. When
he arrived at the train station in his hometown, he either had to walk two
miles home or have my mother pick him up. The lack of transport and good
transport options in the U.S. is atrocious and it affects every part of life—even
the support of the arts.
The Frau often
wishes she could get a CSO subscription. But she’s just not willing to take on
the hassle and stress involved with getting to Orchestra Hall and getting home--at least more than once a year.
What do you think
about the situation for the arts in Europe versus the United States?

Hi. I'm an Australian living in Geneva, even teensier than Zurich and I walk everywhere, occasionally hopping on the great public transport. But you can't compare. Yes because everything is tiny in Europe which makes walking to things possible and permits great public transport systems. But there is a reason why public transport systems generally seem lousy in comparison in Australia and I'm sure in most of the US: we value other things that they don't have in Europe. Houses, gardens, space. The way to get a good transport system is to make everybody live in tiny places on top of each other in layers at least five stories high as is typical of European cities. I guess that describes NY too and I'm guessing NY has the kind of transport system you want - or, at least, miss.
You can't have everything!
