The resulting pressure on Europe’s performing arts institutions is causing concern at various different levels. Traditionally, Europe’s social democracies have preferred allocating scarce goods and services like concerts and operas by queues (financed by huge subsidies to keep prices low) rather than by willingness to pay.
