The civilized ones

. I always go to Pesaro Rossini Opera Festival, each second year or so to Salzburg and Glyndebourne Opera Festivals.
The most important is to be well organized for food & beverage to avoid discomfort. Over the years I got the experience to organize everything from Champagne, the performance and the opulent dinner itself

. No need for a VIP package there - just be organized.
