Worst audience ever.Does concert etiquette baffle you? Has this prevented you from going to a concert or an opera? Have you ever attended a classical music performance of some kind and was insecure about when to clap and when to say 'bravo'?
Dang, I just sounded like an infomercial!
When I was first getting into classical music years ago, etiquette was one of the things that felt very daunting and I know I wasn't the only one. At first, it can feel like a completely different culture. I searched all over the internet and went to book shops for a comprehensive guide to concert etiquette and never really found one. I had to hunt and experience a lot of things myself in order to know what is and isn't proper.
So in order to help classical music newcomers, I've recently written a sort of Idiot's guide to opera etiquette and I'm currently revising it. I hope to have bits of it posted here and on APU's official opera blog soon!
Get ready to check one more excuse off your list!! :D
