Dr. [[Grace Holloway]] was a fan of Puccini, and listened to his opera ''[[Madame Butterfly]]'' while she performed surgery on [[Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]] which caused him to [[regeneration|regenerate]]. Later, the amnesiac [[Eighth Doctor|Doctor]] hummed the music to himself, and upon seeing Grace it jogged his memory. Seeing Grace's CD of Puccini's music further jogged the Doctor's memory of being with Puccini before he died, and of [[Franco Alfano]] finishing Puccini's opera ''[[Turandot]]'' based on his notes.

Some time before those events, [[Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]] had found himself trapped in a decompressing airlock as ''Madame Butterfly'' played, and was determined not to die to the sound of what he dismissively called "elevator music." ([[BFA]]: ''[[The Death Collectors]]'') | |||
[[Eighth Doctor|The Doctor]] locked a prison known as "the Cube" with a complex cryptographic seal, the password to which included a Puccini aria played backward. ([[BFA]]: ''[[Something Inside]]'') | |||
