Booooo

Todos los sábados por la mañana transmiten por la radio en vivo la ópera desde el Metropolitan Opera de New York. Los artistas hablan durante intervalos, hay comentarios y comidillas para fanáticos. Este sábado estaba escuchando "La Sonnambula". Me enteré luego que el público les propinó un sonoro "boooo" cuando bajaron la cortina.

Terry Teachout, el crítico del WSJ opina que Estados Unidos necesita más silbidos.

What happened to Ms. Zimmerman, while not unprecedented, is highly unusual. To be sure, booing at the opera house is far from uncommon elsewhere in the world, especially in Italy, but American audiences are reluctant to express their displeasure vocally. I've heard a certain amount of booing at the Met, but I can't recall ever hearing a single boo at a Broadway show, a classical concert, a dance performance or a nightclub gig.
