Did you know?

A little "did you know?" tidbit. When Charles Gounod's (1818-1893) opera Faust wasn't selling tickets, the producer gave away tickets for the first three performances to people out of town and declared the performances were sold out. Wondering what all the fuss was about, the public began buying tickets, and Faust became a hit.  ------ By Dallas Opera
