Ethan will walk around in a tuxedo in this prestigious place

"Ethan, did you see that? Did you know?
" "Blimey, no!
" "...
"What? I'm telling you, no!
" "Exactly. You mean you knew that a super mysterious terrorist would be at the Vienna Opera tonight, but the local chancellor was on an official outing, that was too difficult to know?
" "Oh, hey, that's fine!
" "Besides, how did you know about the terrorist? No, because his organization is top job function email database secret, well.
" "I... IT'S MY JOB, SO I KNOW."
The terrorist was reportedly the chancellor of a European country, so Ethan Hunt would have lost track of him long ago. I'll make a note of that.
No matter, because once there, our heroes form groups of one. , as is required at least once in each Mission: Impossible movie , while talking on the radio with Benji, who will hide behind the scenes to hack the surveillance cameras and find out where the bad guy is hiding. And very quickly, the guy spots a very suspicious urchin. It's not the villain they're looking for, but a big, strong guy who seems to be up to something: quick, Ethan, go slap him!
Ethan, guided by Benji from the cameras, follows the guy during a long and useless sequence of rotten tailing in the wings of the opera. Opera which, by the way, unfolds at a crazy pace, as the scenes follow one another in a few minutes (which I would have liked during Aida , but hey, with Verdi, I should have known better). But as Ethan approaches his target, Benji starts to sweat profusely and smells of his own farts when he spots two other suspects: a guy disguised as an agent of the local police who killed the lighting managers, and takes up position, rifle in hand. And finally... the mysterious woman who had helped Ethan escape! Dressed in a bright yellow outfit, with a train, just so she can be spotted from two kilometers away and not be able to run in case of emergency.
Discretion, allegory.
I… well.
Our heroes understand that all this is no coincidence: if all these armed people are there the same night as the Austrian Chancellor, it's to assassinate him! Ethan quickly overpowers one of the shooters by doing a Mr. Spock take (on the one disguised as a musician he was tracking), grabs his rifle, and hesitates. Because he has the guy disguised as a police officer and the mysterious woman in his sights. And both are aiming for the Chancellor! Who should he shoot first?
Well, thanks to his power of prescience, Ethan also knows exactly when in the opera the villains plan to shoot to cover up the sound of the gunshot, so he knows when he should stop hesitating, which is very useful.
