Summary: 

I was going to resist participating in this one, but last night I attended
a performance of "Die Goetterdaemmerung" at the SF Opera House.  The 
performance began at 6:30, and the first intermission wasn't until 8:30.
At that time I went thru the coffee-then-rest-room routine.  The main men's
room has 16 urinals and 6 toilets, and the line was out the door.  I was
done in less than 5 minutes.

I don't know the details of the women's facilities, but the intermission 
was extended to 35 minutes--10 minutes longer than usual.

Even for a normal opera--about an hour between intermissions--getting to
the women's room and back in 25 minutes is generally a challenge for my
wife.

**********

About a month or so ago, we attended a performance of the Bay Area Women's
Philharmonic, which was held at a Masonic Temple in San Francisco.  At
that performance, the men's and women's rooms were interchanged, and the
men got to use a facility with no urinals and four toilets.  I'm not sure
what sort of facility the women got, or what they did with the urinals.

I don't know the point of this.
