The quotation: "They shot Tosca instead of Cavaradossi. . . . Their next instruction was to exit with the principals. Tosca took her position at the top of the battlements. She jumped. . . . The whole firing squad threw themselves after her."—[Hugh] Vickers, [Great] Operatic Disasters [New York: St. Martin's Press, 1979].
