There’s a fair few houses claiming the trampoline story but only one claiming the firing squad mass suicide…It was at the Vienna State Opera, the Tosca in question was soprano Ljuba Welitsch (‘not a small lady’) and the conductor was Herbert von Karajan (‘who was not at all amused’).
Another well known and true story is that at the Metropolitan Opera in New York the singer who was playing Rodolfo approached Mimi to sing Your tiny hand is frozen, shoved a hot sausage into her hand.
