The Volksoper Vienna has a World Cup rebate - Book four showings during the month of June, get 50% off. I booked Der Zarewitsch and Die Csardasfürsting by Franz Lehar, plus Die Zauberflöte and Les contes d'Hoffmann. The Volksoper is not as special as the Staatsoper, perhaps, but getting four tickets for €150 was a steal in these times.

Plus, the opera was good enough for James Bond (standing in for the Bratislava Opera in The Living Daylights)

Don't be late

I think that's more of a State Opera thing. They warn that if you arrive late it's up to the discretion of the staff to let you into the audience during performance, e.g. during an applause break.

Today I learned that US Capitol Police has its own ISB.

I think most major US police departments have something similar...even if they're not named like something a national government might have.

Sure, but my first association with ISB is https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Imperial_Security_Bureau
