Mind your manners: The basics of modern opera etiquette
By KIRAN GILL The opera has always been a place of high drama – both on and off the stage. While modern audiences may associate the opera with hushed theaters and strict codes of conduct, in the 18th and 19th centuries, opera houses were vibrant social hubs where spectators gossiped, conducted business and even, on occasion, gambled.
