A good rule of thumb if you’re making a movie, a videogame or a live performance: after the credits roll or you take a bow, you have about 5 minutes to do curtain calls, encores or extra scenes. After that, you’ve outstayed your welcome, no matter how amazing the main act was.

"On 28 December 1897, the curtain rose at the Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin, and the audience was pleasantly surprised. A full hour after the curtain fell, the audience was still applauding." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrano_de_Bergerac_(play) …

Wikipedia offers no citation, but basically the same claim is made in the movie Edmond (2019), which is about the making of the play. Could it really be true? I don't know, but those were different times.

I remember I heard about this one on the news: "After one performance of Otello, the audience gave Domingo 101 curtain calls and an 80-minute standing ovation."https://www.cbsnews.com/news/placido-domingo-tenor-of-our-times/ …

I was at a concert where Daniel Barenboim kept the encores going for IIRC over half an hour. (that was including music though). He's an pro Encorist though - the audience was like putty in his hands.
