This is so stupid.

I wonder how this changed the acoustics of the concert hall.

adorey_stephen ...because people are just horrible...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😘❤️

ItsSandiKyaw refenici I’d honestly prefer dancing blackpink to this audience.

ArnaAlayne Tell me you wouldn’t do this!

nachochicana

Maybe Trump should've done this.

kira_millana did you see this?

This gives me sugawmycoffee energy

Lucky plants!💕

janmoran OK, that’s just weird

No seat left unsoiled.

Yes! I retweeted it! So beautiful

Beautiful!

Barcelona opera house: Note the audience, 3,000 plants!! What ingenuity. After the concert, these plants will be donated to front line workers. Artists of all kinds who perform just for the joy of it are rare treasures.

i wonder what the green room scene was like

I've been there. 😍

Bravo 🎶👍🎶👏🎶

Mythbusters already busted this one donttrythis

My students did an experiment that proved that classical music promotes the most new plant growth of any type of music

Gorgeous on all counts!

A breath of fresh air. .....

It was creepy when they started a Mexican wave.

pedroandradetv Faltou eu no meio das plantas protestando, d Banksy, a favor dos q precisam continuar trabalhando

Very cool!!

Don’t give 45 any ideas on how to fill a theatre...

They should've held a a concert for a stadium full of tardigrades.

I bet they didn't notice zackgalifinakas inbetweentwoferns

Olivia_Valli , this is what I imagine your place to be like during quarantine

I love it. It's the best thing I've seen all day

Happy plants!

Bien hecho, España.

Now this is why I follow NPR!

Sometimes performing in front of plants is more rewarding than performing in front of entitled rich snobs.

It's getting more direct

Did they get carried away after the performance

This is dumb AF.

☹️

Somebody should have passed that idea along to Trump campaign manager for his rally...

Absolutely awesome!!!♥️

choptopmoseley If they take requests, might I suggest a performance of Bjork's 'Bachelorette'?

Assuming they didn’t runthe supertitles?

Oh, the Spaniards are so rich!

Plants forced to pretend to like opera!

Also what my apartment is on it’s way to looking like...

elatedkitty

Were they plants before the opera started?

Plant Lives Matter!

But did any of them leave at intermission?

Oh I get it, because they are not the real audience members, they’re plants.

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Which probably pay more attention than most humans do.

Awwww- that’s totally odd and sweet 🌱 🌱 🌱

Lucky plants!

Wonder if they grow better with opera...

I heard that the entire audience decided to leave...

A terrible, though accurate, way to describe opera-goers.

These plants have higher IQs than those who attended Saturday’s TulsaRally

They say singing to plants is good for them.

Bet a cell phone still went off. Had to be the fern.

Least we humans can do.

is THIS a doctored image too?

It’s happening! 🌿🌲

Enhorabona!

Watch it. It sorts of grows on ya.

lol

Who got the tickets? I don’t think they could have botany

Weird to see a plant in the audience that isn’t from OAN.

... a breath of fresh air. 🤓

Time we start taking care of this planet earth that we live on instead of destroying it. Humans are a damn virus.

Wonderful! Im sure they will flourish!

choptopmoseley Why do I have a feeling that this is one of the three stories waitwait is going to try and stump the listeners with come the weekend?

KevinJBeaty

I would like one of those plants. They seem content and blessed. 💚

Laughs in round-up
