Basic rules of behavior in the theater

The theater is truly a temple of art, symbolizing spiritual beauty, refinement and good manners. The atmosphere that reigns in it, imposes certain restrictions on each guest. In order to become part of it for a while, to enjoy the spectacle and merge with the cultural bohemia, you must always follow the etiquette and strictly observe all the rules of conduct in the theater.

How to dress in a theater

The first thing you want to pay attention to is clothes. A sign of bad taste will be considered a short and unnecessarily open clothes, and it is absolutely unacceptable for the theater shorts, jeans and T-shirts . If you do not have the opportunity to go home after changing clothes, on a weekday it will be enough just to supplement your business suit with any accessories - this will make it more elegant. However, if you go to the premiere, then just need an evening toilet: an exquisite dress for women and a strict suit or tuxedo for men. In winter it is advisable to take with you a change of shoes. A woman's hat and a magnificent hairdo may interfere with seeing the scene sitting behind, so they would be nice to refuse. Also in the theater, you should avoid strong smells of perfume. The abundance of aromas in a closed room can be annoying.

Before the performance begins

So, you are in the theater! Of course, you are not late, because they would show this disrespect to the actors, musicians and stage workers who were preparing to meet with you. When you give your coat in the wardrobe, throw it over the barrier, having checked beforehand whether the coat rack is not torn off, for the demonstration of your untidiness will be quite inopportune at the institution of such rank. Large bags and bags must also be left at the cloakroom attendant . Then, looking at yourself in the mirror, you can slightly tinker with your hair, but no more. To paint lips and tie a tie should still be in the toilet. Going to his place in the auditorium, you must continue to strictly observe the rules of conduct in the theater. For example, to pass in along the row follows the face to the other audience sitting in the audience, while apologizing for the trouble caused. Your apology may be wordless, just a respectful nod of your head. As a rule, the chevalier passes first, chooses a more comfortable place for the lady and holds the seat of the chair while his companion settles down, and then sits down himself. All misunderstandings associated with the places should be settled with the help of a dropshipper, in any case do not enter into any dispute with anyone.

The play began

Sitting in the chair, you should not put both hands on the armrests, the rules of conduct in the theater say that you own only one of them. The height of impropriety will be a loud discussion of something during the performance, rustling with pieces of paper from sweets, champing and talking on the phone. The sound of a mobile phone should be turned off immediately, because the silence in the theater is needed not only by the audience sitting in the audience, but also to the actors, so that nothing prevents them from getting used to the role. Asking binoculars or a program from a neighbor is a bad form. You must acquire your own and during the performance keep them on your lap. Remember that binoculars are designed to more clearly consider the action taking place on the stage, and not in the auditorium - frank viewing of the public is very indecent! As for applause, for them, too, have their own rules. They will be relevant only at certain climaxes: at the end of the play, at the end of the act or some successful scene, at the time of the eminent actor's release. Remember, inappropriate applause can ruin the whole impression of the performance and prevent its holistic perception!

Behavior in the theater during the intermission

Intermission - this is the time when you can stretch your bones, have a bite, discuss the performance and share your impressions, absolutely without violating the rules of behavior in the theater. If during the intermission you decided to go to a cafe, then please do not forget about etiquette during meals and do not stay here for a long time - after all, all the same they come to the theater for the sake of art. In addition, after the third call in the hall, the lights are extinguished, and it will be impossible to get to your place.

When the play is over

To leave the hall during the performance is considered extremely indecent. Only when the curtain falls, you can safely go to the wardrobe. It's quiet, without hurrying and creating crush in the foyer, so that you do not get the impression that you did not like the performance, and you aspire to run home as soon as possible.

Theater and children

A little bit more difficult to go to the theater with children. What exactly should be the behavior in the theater, for children is not very clear. They want to make noise and pamper, because in fact they are more natural in emotions than adults. Therefore, for them, as a rule, separate morning presentations are organized. For evening performances, they will not be able to enter until they reach the age of ten.
