But you only suffer through that melee once in a while (depending on
how often you drop $100 on opera tickets), while the orchestra members
have to contend with it night after night. I think it's a shame that
they don't stay for the accolades, but I'm willing to cut them some slack.
It's like letting frequent flyers pre-board....
