Reminds me of Leonard Warren dying onstage at the Met after singing "O Gioia" in Forza del destino.

I had a similar experience to feste_sylvain's. I was doing a high school production of The Hobbit: The Musical and one of the flash-pots caught a papier-mâché tree during the big battle sequence near the end, sending flames roaring up to the ceiling. I was hiding in a "cave" awaiting my next entrance and had no idea all the fuss and commotion weren't due to the fight scene until I felt the heat of the flames quite close to me.
