Owain, as you know, Opera is a mainly upper class minority interest, yet it has always been publicly funded up to the eyeballs. There's been no deliberate attempts here to wipe it out. Yet I think it's a fairly good bet that more people know a good deal of Welsh in the UK than are hardcore opera fans.

There are more upper class Englishmen than there are Welshmen let alone those that speak Wlesh so I find that unlikely.

Oh and at the Welsh "national" opera they have operatic performances in Welsh.
