raving to classical

Nightclubs in Berlin which usually have DJs playing techno now host classical events. Yeah, beer in hand, one can stand around watching and listening to a string quartet.

One of these is Berghain


See - The Guardian (9 January 2008)

I wonder if it is polite to carry on a conversation during the 'performance', after all most classical music was originally written/composed for the masses.
