[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I should start another thread, but I absolutely LOVED the boos at symphony when Vanny and co walked in. 
YES. 
My symphony crowd, we know what’s good! [/quote]

That was tacky and rude.

Shame on the people who did that.

There’s nothing wrong with treating trash like trash. I wouldn’t normally expect this kind of thing at the KC but these are extraordinary times. Extraordinarily bad. [/quote]

Classical music lover here.

People fail to remember that in centuries past, opera houses could become loud and raucous, and boos were de rigueur if the audience was not appreciative. There were also a few noted political protests at certain opera houses: notably at La Scala in Milan on Jan 15 1857, during a tour by Empress Sissi and the Emperor Franz-Josef from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, when the Italian nobility sent their staff to the opera instead of themselves, as a protest against the oppression and levies on their cities by Austria. You can see a romantic accounting of this real life event in the original Sissi movies.

So the booing of the VP and his wife is perfectly acceptable when considered in the long history of opera and its role in society and politics.
