When listening to a symphony, if you are in a concert hall, you should pay attention to formal clothes or more formal clothes. If the invitation suggests that formal dress is needed, you need to prepare a dress or a small dress. But if you are in a square or park, you can also wear relatively casual clothes.

when you arrive at the concert site, if you need to deposit your bags and coats, please pay attention to take your valuables with you. It is not recommended to bring items that make a lot of noise at the concert site, such as plastic bags.

you should enter the concert site in advance. If you are late, please wait for the usher outside the venue and take your seat at the right time. Usually, please take a seat nearby, don't disturb other listeners, and then change to your seat during the break.

When listening to music, please keep quiet, and don't eat or drink food or drinks that are easy to make noise. Of course, it is best not to eat anything. (There are also special circumstances, for example, some concerts last for a very long time, so you can eat the food you bring at the allowed time.)

At the beginning of the concert, you should applaud the conductor to take the stage. We should also give applause to the soloists, soloists and other actors who performed on stage.

Symphony usually has many movements. Please don't clap between movements. This is very demanding for the audience. Please know in advance what will be played that day.

Usually, at the end of the program, it is polite to applaud and thank the musicians for their performance. However, there are exceptions, such as Tchaikovsky's Symphony Pathetique. Because of the sad atmosphere created by the tracks, the musicians and the audience were silent on their backs at the end, so they didn't applaud.

If the concert is very successful, please stand up and applaud to thank the musicians who conducted and participated in the performance. You can also cheer and shout Bravo.

Encore means extra performance, but not all concerts are suitable for Encore, such as Pathetique mentioned above. Please pay attention to request Encore in appropriate occasions.

Please leave the scene in an orderly manner after the concert officially ends. Please don't forget your belongings or leave any rubbish.

In some concert halls, some seats are not available. During intermission, listeners who have occupied the seats will leave scarves or program books on their seats to show that the seats are occupied.

After some concerts, there will be a reception. Please refer to the general reception etiquette.
