@@Thelaretus There was a rumour at the time, that Haydn wrote his 94th specifically because he was so fed up with all the ladies in the front row knitting and falling asleep during the performances. Haydn debunked this notion, but the rumours itself goes to show that not everyone was there for the music and presumably the general public or some elitists got very upset with the general behaviour of the audience during some performances.

I mean, at the same time, opera really is as much if not more about the music than the stage performance; for large portions of the show it's one guy or gal standing in the middle of the stage singing. So while it's obviously more polite to be paying close attention at all times, it actually sounds like a great time to me to play a game of chess and probably sip a glass of wine while you listen to the music and absent-mindedly see what's going on. But also, accusing the duke of "degenerate behavior" would probably have earned you a duel challenge, hah

This game is one of many reasons why Paul Morphy is my favorite player of all time, it’s very tactical and intelligent but also has the dashing heroic play of the romantic era of chess.

If you were interested, give this a like, more people will see. Opera's used to be a social event back in the day. In contrast with today's theatre, where everyone is quiet, they used to talk and drink and laugh, and the music was often barely audible, more like playing in the background, so I can imagine playing a chess game at the opera was very normal

@malthegrindstedulrik8024 3 года назад

Very true! And especially true of French style 'grand opéra' which would usually consists of 4-5 acts, and go on for four or five hours (including music and ballet performances). Private boxes even had curtains or doors to block the view to/from the stages, if you wanted privacy.

You have to realize that, during Morphy's time, there were no music devices for listening to music while playing a game or other activities, so it kind of makes sense to play chess at a live music venue, and opera was the predominant type of music during this era.

1:51 My comment's going to probably get lost in the sauce but at the time playing chess at the opera would've been perfectly acceptable! Prior to the 1876 Bayreuth festival, operas, concerts, ballets, etc. were seen as fun social events where drinking, eating, and talking to neighbors all were considered acceptable behavior. Chess, of course, would fall into that same category of social and mostly ignorable behavior. Richard Wagner demanded a higher standard of audience etiquette at his operas at Bayreuth and This sentiment was echoed by Gustav Mahler which carried into the future of modern film audiences who you would probably slap if they were talking to each other during a movie.
