In a performance of Die Walkure at Denver's Red Rocks Ampitheatre some years ago the "magic fire" was provided by the Army's Rocky Mountain Arsonel (now thankfully a wildlife refuge). They miscalculated the force of their "magic" and the entire pit was showered with sparks and embers! Luckily (it was a chilly night) I had my trench coat with me and I covered myself with it--no one seems to have suffered any serious injury. The music stopped while the conductor, Saul Caston, assessed the damage; then we resumed putting Brunhilde to sleep in a fireless ring of fire.
