Killed off in a cascade of musical notes. Johnothan was just the butler, but despite his minor role his death was quite tragic. Unlike Katie, who played Mrs. Hader, Johnothan was killed at the end of the opera. The shooting of John the Butler, would be what the people remembered when they went home. Katie died at the very beginning, almost without a mention, just one line about Katie. John the Butler died with a dramatic, and moving sonata in italian about all the things he regretted doing. I wouldn't call it the ****** of the performance, but it was up there.
