Once upon a time the American actress Shelley Winters was in Milan and chanced to pass by La Scala an hour or two after a performance. Fresh snow had just stopped falling and the house was dark when Mr. Bjorling came out the stage door, quite alone. She reports that he gazed over the empty moonlit piazza and then, apparently unaware of anyone's presence, quietly sang E lucevan le stelle.
True or not, it's a major-goosebump story...
