For those who don’t know, “electrician” has a specific meaning in theatre. They’re not the tradesmen you might call in to mend a fuse; they’re the stagehands who deal with stage lighting (although, this gentleman apparently does much more than that).

Exactly what I was thinking. And yes, Perth does have an opera company (the West Australian Opera), though I’m not sure if His Majesty’s Theatre counts as an opera house as opposed to a mixed-use theatre.
You said it right Jeffrey. Dangers can cause if you are choosing an electrician who doesn’t even have a proper license. They may not have the license to offer the services legally.
Chicago now ranks 97th in the world for opera performances per year, Dallas 257th, and Atlanta 355th. Apparently these are cities deep inside the American rain forest…
