Why did the crowd boo him? I saw nothing in the whole article telling why.

I want to know also why they booed him. The audience in Italy can get rough. We had an incident also in NY recently.

"What else could I do?" Alagna said in an interview Monday with Italy's Tg5 news. "Did I have to stay there ... until my voice broke?"
The "Celeste Aida" aria requires the tenor to reach and sustain some pretty high notes. Perhaps he was having difficulty...or perhaps there were just some jerks in the audience that thought it would be fun to harass him.

Also, why wouldn't the understudy be dressed to perform?

Well, he's not the first one to be booed in La Scala history. In the good old days, when the new music was not up to snuff, the crowd used to grab the conductor with his chair, lift it [and him], and carry him [with chair] in the buffet.
