...Some modern Christian theologians and biblical scholars are less literal about the cause of death in the world. Any "immortality" of primordial man was a divine gift, explain some, not man's natural condition.

Figaro enters not from the wings but from-the audience, beginning the Largo al factotum at about row S. In the lesson scene Rosina hits a high C and the glass in Bartolo's hand shatters. During the Act II storm, Bartolo's hat and umbrella are swept skyward by the wind (on a wire, of course...
