  Anecdotes

• Dalian City's political leaders, such as the Mayor and the Party secretary, often come to the performances of the important foreign performers, in which case the last piece of music of the encore playing is usually "Radetzky March". It is a custom here for the leaders to exit first, while the audience clap their hands at the tune of the march.
