FIRST TIME SEEING OPERA?
Applause: Learning when it is proper to applaud is often tricky. If nobody claps when the piece is over, it probably isn’t. If you are not sure, take a cue from those around you. Shouting is generally acceptable only during applause. The word “shouted” is often the Italian word bravo or a variation (brava in the case of a female performer, bravi for a plural number of performers, bravissimo for a truly exceptional performance). The word’s original meaning is “skillful” and it has come to mean “well done.”
