While I agree that jeans and a t-shirt is underdressed, why is it disrespectful? When I go to the opera, I'm interested in what's going on on stage, not in what people sitting near me in the (near) dark are wearing. (Granted one could take my argument to the extreme, as some attire -- or lack of attire! -- could be distracting or, worse yet, disruptive, but I hardly put jeans and a t-shirt in that class.)
