Perhaps, but nonagenerian (sp) mature? I think it is an odd but largely
true generalization that audiences are older in the US than in Europe.
The "Blue-Hair Society" which so often is the main supplier of audiences
in the States seems not to have such large chapters here.  From orchestra
halls in Barcelona and Madrid to community centers in places like Buger,
Mallorca, CM audiences in my experience are almost even demographically,
with perhaps the majority folks in their 40s and 50s.
