1. If you watch who is seated in the 200£ seats, you won’t find ladies stunningly coiffed and gowned with Van Cleef jewels etc. etc. but old maids with cheap floral Marks&Spencer dresses.
2. If you want to buy a small bottle of water, you ‘d better buy a glass of wine. Almost same price.
3. If you visit the Amphitheatre foyer-bar you ‘re gonna feel like you ‘re in an airport (whose designer was neither Zaha Hadid nor Karim Rashid) just waiting to catch a flight. Terrible!
4. People at the ROH are no elitists! They treat going to the opera just like going to the movies. They talk, laugh out loud, drink, eat (no pop-corn, thank God).
5. Surtitles are the reason for the Opera Renaissance: People will just read the surtitles but they won’t listen to the music nor the libretto and of course they won't allow others to listen.
6. Everybody will be laughing even before Dandini says his line! What’s the point in saying the line if you have already read it on the surtitles? Waste of time…

Muy fuerte, a mí lo de las risas tan escandalosas me pone nervioso. Lo peor que recuerdo fue cuando en "La Forza del Destino" se dispara el arma en el primer acto!
¡Qué cosas!
