This is an idea that many have considered, given the contrast between the crudity of street opera, with its improvised performances, and the sophistication of the carefully scripted and rehearsed productions that can be seen in the theater. Even the actors themselves feel that if it's not in a theater, then it ain't art.
這樣的觀念普遍存在人們心中，就是在路邊演出、即興發揮的街戲與按照劇本仔細排練的劇院演出，成了粗俗與高雅的對比，甚至藝人們自己也覺得唯有進到劇院演出才是藝術。
