Trivia


A Mephistopheles Or Two..


A ghost walks Melbourne's splendid Princess Theatre. Singer, Federici, died as he descended from the stage through the trap in March 1888 after playing Mephistopheles in the opera Faust

The night after, the cast claimed that two Mephistopheles stepped forward to take their bows. Federici's replacement, Ernest St Clair swore that every time he stepped forward to take his bow invisible hands pushed him backwards.

Since then there have been many sightings and it is regarded as good luck to have seen the ghost. It's said that the Princess leaves a seat for Federici in the balcony on opening nights.
