Hi, Mila. Very true. Shakespeare was performed before very vocal audiences too. With regards to doing a little research, I guess a lot of people are still not comfortable going on the Internet, but it’s great to overhear that they’re getting the story line.

Sounds like the show was well attended. I’d have gone to watch if I was in town. Thanks for keeping me informed about the show and tickets.
As for talking during the opera, people forget that in the old days (when opera was at its heyday), audiences would “participate”, talk, shout, boo, it wasn’t all about being quiet. It’s only in the last century that attending a classical concert or ballet or opera that people were told to hush.
Pity that folks didn’t read or research the story first before going though. No reason to be ignorant about the story and it’s theme when going in the days of internet access.

Actually ang ipinagtataka ko kung bakit sila giniginaw sa first scene samantalang nasa Maynila naman sila.

But I wish they had used supertitles. Some of the cute parts, like the boys driving Benoit out after he tells something bastos or the whole key/candle thing, are lost.

Awesome Anton should hire himself out
as La Boheme’s official whispering translator.

Without him, I would’ve been lost!!!
