The Nutcracker itself was absolutely fabulous, but the staff of the War Memorial Opera House made me feel more like cattle than a guest.

After spending over $300 per ticket for box seats we weren't even allowed to remain in our box for more than 10 minutes after the performance. Even though we were finishing our last bit of coffee that we ordered.

There's just something about paying that much for tickets and having an usher come to your box and ask you to leave. After being rushed from our box seats we went downstairs to take a few photos only to have the lights turned out to give us the hint to leave.

It was almost like the the staff had more important things to do then allow those attending the ballet to enjoy themselves afterwards. Very disappointing!
