Notes for Concerts in dress etiquette

Opera Concerts

1. According to environmental needs

Seeing an opera means unusual respect for performers and culture, so choose your clothes accordingly. Although some men also wear jeans, shirts with buttons on the collar, no tie and no blouse in the opera house, it is customary for them to wear a dark suit, vest and tie. As long as your partner chooses a suitable dress, you need to wear a small dress. The big dress may be too exaggerated to put on airs. Even if you book a box, you don't have to wear a big dress.

Second, big dresses

Don't wear watches. If an important person invites you to a concert in an important place, you should wear a big dress. The big dress is for very formal occasions. It consists of a tuxedo, a white cotton vest and a pair of plain black trousers with two silk hems sewn on the outer trousers. The white dress shirt always has a stand-up collar, and the white bow tie is made of cotton fabric. Usually with a pair of shiny oxhide shoes or patent leather shoes with high finish. In this grand occasion, if you don't want to be ridiculous, please don't wear a watch when wearing a big dress. Too much decoration will make you look stupid.

3. Regular dresses

For casual concerts, dark single-breasted or double-breasted suits rarely make mistakes, but the tops can also have exquisite patterns or stripes. Shirts can be striped or checked. If you wear a tie, it is recommended to wear a white shirt with a pair of dark brown or black thick leather shoes. You can also wear a dress with a folded collar, dark, similar to a small dress, black and gray striped pants, light gray vest, with the top turned up and no dovetail. Leather shoes should be black and shiny. If you attend an open-air concert that is more suitable for daytime, your dress can be more casual.

4. Little dresses

Most concerts are held at night, so it is necessary to wear a dark evening dress with a single-breasted or double-breasted top and no opening at the back. Matching the dress is a pair of dark trousers, with simple silk lace sewn on the outer trousers, and no hem and belt buckle, so you should wear trousers straps when wearing the dress. Please wear a white shirt with lapels to match the dress, or a turtleneck shirt with lapels and cuffs. The chest of the shirt is either flat, with longitudinal or transverse creases, or padded with concave-convex cotton fabric. Shiny oxhide shoes should have smooth tongue, or you can choose smooth patent leather shoes.

concert etiquette? Note

1. Familiarize yourself with the music

If you don't have enough time, at least familiarize yourself with the main music. The main music of a concert is usually the first song after the intermission or the last finale of the whole concert.

Second, please enter the venue on time

It is impolite to be late in any situation. So it's best to be there about 15 minutes before the show. The concert hall strictly restricts late entrants. The entrance door is closed at the beginning of the performance, and those who are late can only enter until the intermission. You are not allowed to leave halfway. If you want to leave early under special circumstances, you should leave quietly at the end of a piece of music when the audience is clapping. Pets, dangerous goods and food are not allowed to enter the venue.

Third, don't make noise

Quiet listening is the minimum etiquette of a concert, which not only shows respect for the performer and other audience, but also indirectly expresses one's self-cultivation. Therefore, it is impolite to make noise in a concert. Be sure to turn off electronic products such as mobile phones that make noises in advance. During the performance, you should keep quiet, and don't talk, doze off, drink water (drinks), eat or walk around. Don't eat and drink too much food before the concert that will make you run to the toilet frequently.
