I thought it would be about Oprah, not opera.

The opera did not say how she fell.

Vertically?

More importantly, did she fall comically. Was she in the middle of that long high note and her voice cracked as she went down maybe? Or was she just walking along to get to her blocking position and plop. Maybe she fell head over heels and her legs were flailing..

Wanted to see who Wendy White was so did an GIS, wasn't paying attention to the auto thing... ended up with Wendy O Williams. Oh my she was pretty nasty.

There's more detail in This article (new window)

I saw this production yesterday evening (not live, but a rerun of last week's matinee).

It's pretty good - Faust plus nuclear weapons.

I once saw the exact same thing except it was Al Stewart & he fell off a stage in Kent, Ohio. & he sucked it up & carried on with the show. Other than that...

Interceptor1: Why are they fat?

to cover their lungs - if an opera singer is any good at all they can nearly pop a basketball when inflating it by mouth. Ferocious lung power = huge lungs- _______ insert jokes here _______.

In other news I was around when Joe Cocker fell of the stage. No big deal though. At the time he was doing it on a nearly regular basis.

That makes sense. I met Sarah Brightman once and my first thought was "wow, she's tiny...except for her chest".

The only other time I have seen this was a production with the same director.

I blame Des McAnuff

By the way, this is known as "doing a Jerome Robbins".

I would really like to see a video of this. There was a video of Wayne Newton falling and sadly I couldn't stop laughing.
