My sister the Internet doyenne/horn player forwarded this from the horn
list. Original poster wondered whether the ballet orchestra could get a
net!

Oh, yeah, when I was in Gounod's "Romeo et Juliette" at Opera San Jose a few
years ago, we had a dagger from the duel scene slide off the stage and into
the pit at a dress rehearsal. FORTUNATELY, it didn't hit anyone or
anything.
