and copious amounts of fake and real blood

Where did they use the real blood? I thought theaters avoid it because it's really hard to clean and it coagulates after being exposed to air for a while. (though fake blood is also really expensive from what I've heard)

I imagine it's probably something to do with the live piercing, which I assume to be hook pulls? Needle play really icks some people out, but I don't know if it would be visible from an opera stage
