Opera is evacuated due to bad smell
mainThe entire audience and performing cast were ordered to leave the building of Sofia Opera and Ballet last night due to a powerful smell that many described as ‘suffocating’.
In all, 650 people left the building a short way into the performance of Borodin’s Prince Igor.
No cause has been confirmed. The general suspicion is that the smell came from toxic cleaning fluids.
A few big guys, too many trushia and chops for dinner and look what happens!
Hilarious….. but also in the garlic belt concerts and opera performances are sometimes disrupted by the usual diet – south of France, Spain, Italy, Greece.
Only 650 total evacuees in a hall that can seat 980 means, at best, the audience was only at 66% of capacity. Either something is truly rotten . . . or that Peter Gelb is running the Sofia Opera too.
Would be a good idea to evacuate everyone every time when the production stinks.
I would leave every Regietheater production with an empty hall.
Your words – not mine.
