Shanghai-born tenor Shi Yijie will never forget April 1, 2007. A student living in Vienna then, he arrived at the Vienna State Opera at 8:30 am that day to buy ticket for La Fille du Regiment, or The Daughter of the Regiment, a production of Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti's two-act opera of the same title by the Vienna State Opera.
That day was the premier of the production.
Three elderly men were in the queue ahead of him, and they had brought along couches.
