[Avodah] fashion models and opera singers

>>But IIRC when  Fiddler on the Roof first came to the Chicago stage
(the play, not the  movie), Arie Crown Hebrew Day School used it as a
fund raiser. ....
I  believe the Heter was based on the fact that the faces of the women
in the  play could not be seen from the seats that were being sold by
ACHDS and the  sound heard was that of a microphone reproduction and
not their actual  voices. If that's true, it may be possible for this
talented young lady to  pursue a career in opera without  violating
Halacha.<<

>>>>>
I think opera singers eschew the use of microphones and pride themselves  on 
being able to fill a  hall with their own natural voices -- but I could  be 
wrong about that.
 

However, as to being seen by male audience members -- how could she  ensure 
that all Jewish men would sit in the furthest-away seats and that only  women 
and non-Jews would occupy the front seats?
