However, it made the night pretty entertaining for me, watching the opera crowd in Montreal turn "ugly". I was shocked, of course, and also found it cringeworthy as I was shocked by the whole thing.
But anyway, in the end it was really quite fun, and while I'm sure that tenor had a really horrible experience that evening, it became a wild experience. In some ways it was much better than listening in silent embarrassment to the singer's voice cracking.
I think I may have derailed the thread. My bad. I deserve some boos.

Ah the classic caught in a lie, so maybe it was actually a fuzzy memory.
It's crap, you know, I know it and everyone reading this knows it
