Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd, they need to associate opera with thecommon people.That means no formal suits, old－styled theatre or bank－breaking ticketprices.And because young people don't or won't come to the opera, companies are bringing theopera to them, giving performances in such usual places as parks, libraries and public schools.The Houston Grand Opera's choice is the public library, where it performs “mobile operas”，shortened versions of child－friendly operas.This summer's production is Hansel & Gretel.Byperforming smaller versions of large productions, producers are able to make people interestedwhile keeping costs at a reasonable level.The San Francisco Opera, which will be celebrating its75th anniversary this year, is staging Cinderella free of charge, keeping costs down by employingstudents from its Young Artists' Training Program.21．Which is the main idea of this passage？__C__A．Opera is famous for its long history.B．Opera is only performed for rich people.C．Opera companies are trying to keep opera alive.D．Young people are not interested in opera.解析：主旨概括题。根据短文后三段得知，讲的是有关歌剧公司决心拯救歌剧(keepopera alive)的行动以及具体措施(associate opera with the common people)。22.
