No call for rudeness at the opera
• HELEN Lawrence is, of course, entitled to her views of the current Tristan und Isolde at the Royal Opera House (Review, October 8), (though phrases such as “...clumsy and devoid of anything illuminating to say” and “afraid of big ideas and emotions” somehow bring the word “tosh” to mind).
However, one must take exception to “deservedly booed at the curtain call”.
Thorough rudeness is never acceptable at an opera or anywhere else.
It wasn’t the production that “showed disrespect to the opera, the singers and the audience”, it was those of the minority who set up the cacophony of booing at the end.
