Original Title: TIL that the premiere of Gioachino Rossini’s opera The Barber of Seville ended in complete disaster. One of the singers tripped over a trapdoor and had to sing with a bloody nose. During the Finale to Act 1, a cat wandered onstage and declined to leave, and so was forcibly flung to the wings.
