There's a full-on spectator’s revolt underway at Madrid’s #TeatroReal. The audience at tonight’s production of Verdi’s ‘Un ballo in Maschera’ is in an uproar because while socially distant seating is happening at the floor-level, the cheap balcony seats are packed together.
Although the theatre's management has told the crowd that they're running the show at 50% capacity, the images being tweeted out by spectators show some pretty full rows up top... And a lot of empty seats in the noble area down below.
According to this great thread from @EmiliaChacon, the opera has started one hour after schedule and the curtain has come down just ten minutes later due to the audience's incessant complaints. It's unclear if the performance has been called off.
