Cultural References
- The title is a reference to The Barber of Seville.
- Lisa claims that tenor Andrea Bocelli recorded an entire song on his back. Bocelli apparently did record one track on his Amore album on his back, and demonstrated this technique on an episode of American Idol.
- The Springfield Opera House is shaped like the Sydney Opera House.
- The scene of Lenny and Carl watching Homer's opera performance from the rafters is a reference to a similar scene in Citizen Kane.
- Homer's entourage, Lenny and Carl, is a parody of the HBO series Entourage. The music when Lenny (who dresses like Turtle) and Carl are in the limousine is the show's theme song.
- The orchestral sequence featured in the Cobra scene is the overture of Mozart's opera, Don Giovanni.
- When Carl and Lenny are sent away from the table at the Guilded Truffle, Carl mutters "Yoko", at Marge. It is a reference to Yoko "breaking up The Beatles", but in this case Marge is breaking up the entourage.
- Homer paints a parody of Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam on the ceiling.
Goofs
- The police said that they have already "pre-crashed" the chandelier. However, after all the snipers have been shot, the chandelier fell on Julia. However, this could merely be a joke, suggesting the police's incompetence by missing a second chandelier or putting another one up after the first one was "pre-crashed".
