This would be at the RAH (Proms) not the ROH (Opera), Mario; but your point is just as valid!

Have things gotten so bad?

Short answer-yes. Dare I say that Asian concert goers seem more prone to text during concerts? I applaud them for their love of Classical Music but I have noticed that they seem as a group more unable to put down their phones
Only capped by the Asian tourists who bizarrely took FLASH photos during a Philharmonia performance of Metamorphosen at the QEH with Ashkenazy conducting. All Vladimir could do was shrug and chuckle .

Back on topic - I do urge those underwhelmed by this account of Beethoven 5 to look out the account Lim gave with Pappano and the Verbier FO on You Tube only days before this concert .
Lim sounds in better form as does the piano and he plays with a great deal of subtlety and nuance somewhat missing from the Prom . The conducting of Pappano and the playing of the younh Festival Orchestra are in a different league to that of the BBCSO/Jarvi - better air conditioning perhaps . It is a terrific , exciting performance .
