Objections to inadequate social distancing measures at Madrid’s Teatro Real led to a production of  Verdi’s A Masked Ball being called off when the audience started slow hand clapping and calling for “suspension” and “security”. The venue said seat occupancy was below the 75 percent capacity allowed in a Madrid theatre, but according to one attender "In the first 10 rows of the stalls we were all jammed in and there wasn’t a single free space.”
