Sleepwalking at the Met

Last night I took the elevator from the basement of the Metropolitan Opera to the fourth ring. As we stopped at each floor, more people entered the small compartment. Somewhere between the Grand Tier and the third ring, a man half turned to those assembled and asked, "Is it ok to fall asleep during a performance of La Somnambula?" to which one person answered, "Yes, so long as you don't take a walk."
