References/Trivia


Trivia

  • Restaurants spotted or mentioned after the family leaves church: Griddler on the Roof, Thank God It's Fried Eggs, Luftwaffle's, Bodacious Frittatas, Buffet the Hunger Slayer, and Denny's.
  • When Homer forgets his lines he sings "Uh-oh Spaghetti-os"? This was the catch phrase of the fictional police officer Homer Simpson in the season 10 episode "Homer to the Max".

Cultural references

  • The episode title is a reference to the Rossini opera 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.
  • The line about the chandelier being pre-crashed is a reference to a famous scene from "The Phantom of the Opera."
