CONCERT ETIQUETTE |
|
|
|
When attending a concert, remember to enter the concert hall quietly and go directly to your seat. If you arrive late, wait until there is a break so that you may go inside and find your seat. If it's a Classical or Jazz music concert, remain quiet for the entire performance. If it's popular music, make all the noise that you want. The performer won't mind at all. When listening to a live orchestra, always keep track of the program. If one of the pieces has more than one movement, wait until the end of the last movement to clap. Always watch the conductor, he/she will turn to face the audience at the end of the composition. When exiting the theatre, be polite and wait until everyone seating on your row are ready to leave. Always use your good manners when approaching strangers. Use language like "excuse me", "thank you", "may I?", etc. Your opinion is valuable but make sure it's not too harsh. If you didn't enjoy the performance, make sure you don't voice your opinion too loud. You never know who could be listening and you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. It's better not to say anything negative, instead, try to mention at least one thing positive about the performance.
