A Light at the Opera: The Flashlight Ring

The theatre seems to be one of the last remaining bastions of good behaviour, although, many still seem to get it wrong. Have you had to endure Hamlet? Yes, well imagine it with someone seated beside you using their mobile phone to text all and sundry about how bored they are. It’s perhaps one of life’s little situations where the vibrate function is indispensable, if you take my meaning.

What happens if you need to check the programme to figure out when interval is so you can either hit the bar in order to numb the experience to suffer the second half or plan your timely escape. Pretty hard without seeming gauche for your disdain for a supposed classic and your deference to good manners, right? Wrong.

From designer, Svetlana Mikhailova, comes the opera light ring replete with flashlight. Embedded with a tiny LED, the push of a button allows the wearer to discreetly check their programme for  when the next appropriate break or who the hottie in the tights and codpiece is without detection. Perfect for patrons and pervs of the arts alike!
