"I'm sure you can walk into an opera theater right now, seats will be filled out, and nobody's saying a word as the performance is going because everybody has that much respect for it. There is an etiquette around opera. There's etiquette around ballet."
"People go there every day to the dance studio. Dancers show up [at] 8 a.m., 6 a.m. whatever the f*** [time] they show up, and they break, and they bleed every single day just because they have respect for it. They love what they do."
"Doesn't mean people don't care about it. Dancers care. Singers care. The audience cares. You show up in a nice outfit, you sit the f*ck down and you shut the f*ck up. That's the usual etiquette around those things."
Timothée Chalamet faced backlash for stating in an interview that ballet and opera are dead art forms nobody cares about anymore. Doja Cat responded with a TikTok video defending these disciplines, noting that opera is 400 years old and ballet is 500 years old. She highlighted the dedication of performers who train daily and the respect audiences show during performances. Doja emphasized that while entertainment industries face challenges, people still care deeply about these art forms. She criticized Chalamet's dismissal and suggested he learn from the etiquette and reverence surrounding classical performance arts.
