Answer:Once upon a time, books were not able to be printed and resold in mass amounts. When the printing press was invented, books became much more accessible to others and could be purchased. This was one cultural change that allowed audiences in 18th century to enjoy new forms of opera. Then in general, the Renaissance really helped people want to express themselves more freely and explore new ideas, so people were more willing to step out of the "traditional" and take a glance at the "modern" and "new" things of that time, including new music styles. Did that help?
