Covent Garden to singers: Do not applaud each other
mainAt the foot of the Royal Opera House memo instructing singers how and when to appear for curtain calls, a new advisory had appeared in bold lettering.
It reads: Please note: It is House policy to request that singers do not applaud each other onstage. Thank you.

Now why would they do that?
Are they scared that Diva Joyce would ovate one bari-hunk at the expense of another?
Do they fear Mourinho-like bad losers in the backstage?
Has somebody complained to the management?
We really ought to know….
