"Audience" vs "Audiences"

[Tom]

Hi

Could you please tell me the difference between:

"Audience" and "Audiences"

An audience is one set of attendees at a performance; if the show has two performances on Saturday, it will have two audiences. An audience is also one visit with the Pope; if you go twice, you will have had two audiences with him.
