The third act of Australian Ballet’s Sleeping Beauty in Adelaide was blacked out by a power failure last week.

The show was stopped and the audience evacuated.

It turned out a rat had climbed into the 11,000-volt power box and nibbled through a cable.

It is thought he was trying to audition for Lohengrin at Bayreuth (below).
