Very true...The background efforts are usually the one which make or break any performance. Sound engineering, as you have pointed out , is another highly underrated field We need more and more professionals in these fileds and most importantly the theatre owners who understand the nuances of these inside the auditorium rather than focusing on the exterior grandeur
