"What else could I do?" Alagna said in an interview Monday with Italy's Tg5 news. "Did I have to stay there ... until my voice broke?"

The "Celeste Aida" aria requires the tenor to reach and sustain some pretty high notes. Perhaps he was having difficulty...or perhaps there were just some jerks in the audience that thought it would be fun to harass him.

You missed the point of my quip in #2:

That is true of Verdi's "Aida" -- but...

They were performing Franco Zeffirelli's "Aida."
