When the opera house's lights are turned down, the stage is dark, then the stage lights turn up and light the curtain. But in the 19th Century, the stage lights would have been lamps that burned lime (hence the term: Lime Lights). They were NOT electrical, which would allow all of them to turn up at the same time. Rather, they would have had to have been lit individually before the performance to be, and they would have been burning at their brightest from the start. The theatre would not have wanted to take the time to either light them or turn them up at curtain time. So, when the house lights were turned down (by hand) the stage would have been fully lit already.
