I don't think you need to have a history or vast knowledge of music theory to appreciate classical music. Of course, knowing some aspects of music theory may open your eyes to some of the techniques and skills employed by classical composers, but without knowing these details you can certainly still appreciate the beauty and aesthetics of classical music! The same goes for any type of music, art, or whatnot.
