The actress writes: “Tonight during the mono performance, the phones rang loudly 3x, a voice message was played 1x, the phone rang 1x for a long time right in the quietest part of the finale, and 2x conversations were held loudly. I apologize from the bottom of my heart to those responsible viewers who had to experience it with me!”
Many theater lovers have commented on the post, most of them agree with the actress’s confusion about people’s behavior during performances.

“Unbelievable and very unfortunate, but my worst memories of audience behavior are also directly from your mono performance in May. Bystanders from three sides appeared. Maybe you need to sincerely ask someone before the show and then ask them to respect others again? With a look in the eyes.”
“I sometimes wonder at such times whether one of the staff should ask these spectators to leave the hall. Or at least rebuke. Well, sometimes an ome will forget to turn down the sound (it happened to me once at the opera…), but sometimes there is demonstrative impudence.”
“Can’t you talk to the lighting guy about pointing the spotlight in the direction of such viewers? My phobia is that some smart device starts beeping in the theater or cinema. I check 5 times, but I’m still afraid.”
A commentator also shares his experience of how Elina Garanca once waited at her concert for the audience’s phone to stop ringing.
“The voicemail was played during the show?! I hear something like that for the first time. A (supposedly?) cultural audience goes to the theater, opera, and concerts. Well, how can you not mute the phone, talk or play a voice message?! I will never understand this. And this is always reminded before the show!”
“Just stop the show and have security kick you out. And all. Violation of the rules of order, like a drug festival.”
Of course, there are times when such quarrels really happen for human reasons: “Once I was at Melder’s show, I was sitting in the 1st row, with 1000% sound turned off. When someone’s phone started ringing, I thought – what a jerk.. after a while I realized that it was mine. I died of shame inside. I checked again – the sound is really turned off. I put it down & it rings again.. it turns out the sound button is broken.”

And another comment, remembering what is happening in the show: “I remember once 20 years ago. JRT had a show about how two young people got to a country man, if I can’t remember the name, but there is an episode where Hermanis steps on the table to have a zone…Suddenly the phone rings in the hall. Herman got down from the table, approached the person and said: “I don’t have a zone, maybe it’s old, give me yours!” Curtain.”
During the mono performance tonight, the phones rang loudly 3x, a voice message was played 1x, the phone rang 1x for a long time right in the quietest part of the finale, and 2x conversations were held loudly. I apologize from the bottom of my heart to those responsible viewers who had to experience it with me_
