Thank you to the hundreds of you who responded to this with wonderful anecdotes. I've sent off the short article I had to write about this (

Well, we once had an audience member come with his snake
. It got away and started crawling in the box. The other people in the box noticed it but managed not to scream during Act 1! Then the ushers had to catch the snake during intermission

I have an opposing story of frighteningly good audience behaviour: a beautiful German couple brought their exquisite children (4 and 6, dressed head to foot in tweed & velvet) to the general of Die Meistersingers
@ROH. They sat upright, silent + without fidgeting for 4 1/2 hours -
I had one of those in front of me for Robert Le Diable of all things. Tiny French girl perched on about 5 extra cushions clutching her stuffed rabbit. Watched rapt then chattered about it all to her father at the interval.

"Figaro" at the Vienna Staatsoper: witnessed a bizarre altercation with X telling off Y for humming along; Y left at the interval, leaving X so nonplussed he spent the second half sitting on the floor with head in his hands. This in the €2 standing area right at the back.

I was a regular attendee at operas in Australia for a few years and every show I was groped and/propositioned by a male audience member
