Break a Leg

Tenor Fabio Armiliato, on stage during a performance of “Tosca” in Macerata, Italy, was particularly startled when the guns went off in the firing squad scene. As the audience applauded, Armiliato yelled “They really shot at me!” and grabbed his foot. “At first I thought it was a director’s trick, but it was real blood, and the tenor was crying out in pain,” said lead actress Raina Kabaivanska. Police are investigating the incident. (AP) ...Ah, but how did she know it was real blood, and that he wasn’t just acting? Don’t leave town, Miss Kabaivanska.
