Subway operators do not like
Opera singer Katherine Jenkins from Wales has put an interesting experiment: November 22, she performed in front of passers-by on the London Underground. At the end of 45 minutes of the performance the singer earned only 10 pounds (about 500 rubles). Katherine Jenkins performing classical arias and pop music is very popular in the UK. She was the first performer of which two years are awarded prizes Classic BRIT Awards. She had full houses, and ticket for the show it costs ten times more than collected Jenkins for all his "underground concert." A similar experiment in 2007 in Washington, DC held American violinist Joshua Bell, who for 45 minutes on a Stradivarius played a few works of Kreisler, Schubert, Bach and Massenet. He earned during this time $ 32 and 17 cents, and found one of the best violinists in the world, only one person. Jenkins earned less, but the connoisseurs of high art in a London subway were more. Some time mezzo-soprano nobody recognized, but then a few people, among whom were fans of her work, to understand who actually acts on the subway. But judging by the fees, even judges were quite stingy. A less discerning audience creativity Jenkins uninviting. She would have three thieves chord touches the soul of ordinary kids from the suburbs.
