traditionalists Explanation: I think the entire phrase could be encapsulated in the single word "traditionalists", those who want the opera to be performed the way it was originally. A more long-winded might be something like "advocates of the traditional/original sound". A high priest can be an advocate (though more in the sense of intercessor than one who argues in favour of something). So that could also work. But I think "traditionalists" could work, and it's probably the most neat and tidy solution. |
