Concert
I would like to know when approximately concert music became open to public. Was it roughly 1800’s ? When was it no longer open to only the extremely rich and aristocratic ? I’ve searched this on Google, but no decent answer seems to come up.

The rise of music theatre was what really saw the opening of musical events being open to the public. The first music theatre works were masques (the predecessor of opera proper). Early masques actually evolved during the late middle ages and by the 1500s, they were quite popular. The first real operas are considered to be Jacopo Peri’s ‘Daphne’ in 1597 and Monteverdi’s ‘Orfeo’ in 1607. So, you see, opera and its predecessors have been drawing-in the crowds at least 300 years longer than you suggest.
Orchestral concerts came rather later. Even in the Baroque period (c 1600-1750), orchestral works were still composed largely for aristocratic courts and as interludes during long opera performances. It was during the Classical period (from around 1740) that orchestral concerts started to become more commonplace. By the time of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven (the late 1700s), orchestral concerts were quite numerous in large musical centres.
