Nowhere is completely safe. This past December, I saw Handel's Messiah at the New York Philharmonic. The man behind me thought it appropriate to SING ALONG to the Hallelujah Chorus, and looked confused when I shushed him. And the woman in front of me read a book throughout the entire second half. It wasn't an ebook, so there was no issue with electronic devices being annoying, and it wasn't really all that distracting, but still - she just sat there reading, like she was listening to a recording in her living room.
