Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaStella Knight is seen in the beginning of the episode rehearsing "Quando m'en vo'", Musetta's major aria in La Boheme. Since she and Andrea Beaumont are working together, Andrea is likely singing Mimi, the lead soprano role in that opera. Both are roles for lyric sopranos, but Paul Faber asks that Drew Granger assign one of Andrea's performances of Aida, a dramatic soprano role requiring a much heavier voice, to Stella. While it is not unheard of for lyric sopranos to sing dramatic roles as well, it is unusual. A better choice would have been Gilda in Rigoletto, or the title role in Lucia di Lammermoor.

- Quotes
Insp. Piero Amati: Mi spiace, signora, you have in front of you the only Italian man who doesn't have a taste for garlic, olive oil or grand opera.

Featured review
You know that in operas, just like in "Murder, She Wrote", somebody's gonna die!!
While it's not true every opera has someone or multiple people die in it (such in "The Barber of Seville"), in MOST there is lots of death, murder and/or suicide...just the sort of stuff you'd expect in an episode of "Murder, She Wrote"! So, it's not surprising that the two are combined in "Murder in High "C"".
Like nearly all episodes of the series, while the film is set abroad, it's filmed in California simply because that was a lot cheaper and easier than packing the crew off to Italy for this particular show. This might also explain the odd and sometimes absent 'Italian' accents you hear in the episode.
Jessica is in Genoa because her friend (one of about 23400) is the woman who is supposed to play the lead in some opera. However, someone appears to be stalking her....which unnerves her even more since a previous stalker was sent to prison for harassing her.
This is generally a good episode, though I think overusing the stereotype that Italians LOVE to scream isn't very helpful. But otherwise an enjoyable and interesting episode.
