So basically, when in Rome, respect the culture of the Romans but don't take the mores of the Romans as a sign of arrogance, hostility or superiority.
I appreciate your sentiments and glad you had a positive experience, but there are certain general rules of etiquette for different types of social gatherings or events. I would not expect a rowdy, screaming crowd at a classical performance, opera or art gallery opening, but OTOH, at a hockey game, football game, boxing match, or rock or country concert, I would not expect the audience to be seated quietly for the event with the occasional "golf clap".
