Ось тут всі пишуть про те, як Азарова в опері освистали. (http://newsru.ua/rest/06dec2010/netrebko.html) А мені в цій історії вельми промовистими видались такі два факти:
1. "Прем'єр-міністр України Микола Азаров прийшов на концерт з охоронцями, запізнившись на 18 хвилин"
2. "Коли Азаров з'явився в партері, ведуча концерту промовила: "У залі прем'єр-міністр Україні Микола Янович Азаров!.."
При цьому часто посилаються на приклади інших країн, зокрема Англії, де навіть королева не дозволяє собі подібних запізнень, а коли вже таке й трапляється, то ніхто початок дійства з таких незначних причин не затримує.

І згадалося мені, що читав я колись в мемуарах пана Джакомо Казанови про те, які в його часи були манери в англійських театрах. Ось такі: ...we went to Drury Lane Theatre, where I had a specimen of the rough insular manners. By some accident or other the company could not give the piece that had been announced, and the audience were in a tumult. Garrick, the celebrated actor who was buried twenty years later in Westminster Abbey, came forward and tried in vain to restore order. He was obliged to retire behind the curtain. Then the king, the queen, and all the fashionables left the theatre, and in less than an hour the theatre was gutted, till nothing but the bare walls were left.

After this destruction, which went on without any authority interposing, the mad populace rushed to the taverns to consume gin and beer. In a fortnight the theatre was refitted and the piece announced again, and when Garrick appeared before the curtain to implore the indulgence of the house, a voice from the pit shouted, “On your knees.” A thousand voices took up the cry “On your knees,” and the English Roscius was obliged to kneel down and beg forgiveness. Then came a thunder of applause, and everything was over. Such are the English, and above all, the Londoners. They hoot the king and the royal family when they appear in public, and the consequence is, that they are never seen, save on great occasions, when order is kept by hundreds of constables.

Може тому у них і до сьогодні змушені з більшою повагою ставитися до публіки?
