I once decided to go to a performance, on impulse, late in the afternoon when in London, went into Whitechapel library, looked up ENO, arrived with barely a moment to spare, bought a ticket, expecting to see Carmen (I think it was).
It took a while to establish what I was watching - in the way of distance/diction at ENO - but eventually I made it out from the repetition of "Ernani....."
Of course it was the previous day's paper. In this day of smartphones of course it would be possible to avoid such a situation (or even, by asking at the box office). (Except that I have yet to get a smartphone!)
