...hundred of them, organized as the Musicians' Symphony (see col. 1), sat and played on the stage last week where the yawning cistern should have been to hold Jochanaan prisoner, where two dark cypress trees should have stood sinisterly against an Oriental sky. Jeritza and Jochanaan were conventionally clothed but if she had worn veils and he a hair- cloth tunic the performance could not have caused more excitement.

Next, four pairs of banderillas (barbed wooden shafts) are stuck into the top of the bull's neck by the banderilleros or, with musical accompaniment, by the matador himself.
