Boo! Hiss! Bunch of Wankers! etc

Sometime you just can't catch a break. Sometimes even the cultured (in every sense) kick you in the jimmy.

Take Culture Minister Andras Bozoki and Opera general director Jutocsa Arpad Hegyi. The two merrily turned up at the opening session of the State Opera company on Friday only to find the gathered crowds boo and whistle at them.

Shocking and disgusting behaviour! (wicked chuckle)

It's funny what a plan of austerity measures can do to an assembled crowd of rabid opera fans.

In contrast Miklos Szinetar, the former Opera director, was the recipient of "much love". Having resigned over nasty cut backs he arrived to a hero's welcome - cheered and slapped on the back by singers and staff alike. Hurrah!
