Seattle Opera presented Rossini's madcap farce "L'italiana in Algeri" in October 2006. The first act concludes with the first of Rossini's brilliant 'crescendo' finales, as all the characters express their confusion and stupefaction and make silly noises:
"My brain is crumbling into dust! There's a terrible racket in my head, and sounds like a hammer:  'Tap! Tap! Tap!' Or a cannon:   "Boom! Boom!" A plucked crow:  "Caw! Caw!" or a bell: "Ding!" Onstage, the walls came down to crush the characters during this merry music. Edoardo Mueller conducted the orchestra of Seattle Opera and Stephanie Blythe (Isabella), William Burden (Lindoro), Simone Alberghini (Mustafa), Earle Patriarco (Taddeo), Sally Wolf (Elvira), Melissa Parks (Zulma), and George Mosley (Haly).

"Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" is a famous musical composition for the organ. Composed by the Baroque maestro Bach, the piece is regarded as being the virtuoso's signature. Renowned for its regal and majestic resonance, dramatic command and titular opening motif, this piece  reveals the mastery of the performer's "touch" upon the organ's keys through its poignant and swiftly paced arpeggios. In western culture, the piece has developed an association with horror movies.
