Germany was the first country to institute Daylight Saving Time during WWI and the Berlin Opera house was one of the first institutions affected by these changes.On April 30, 1916 the Berlin Opera, changed its regularly scheduled performance of Die Meistersinger to an hour earlier than usual. This allowed members of the audience to be able to catch their customary trains home at the end of the performance. All trains scheduled to depart between 11:00 p.m. and midnight were subsequently an hour behind schedule when the time changed from 11:00 p.m. to midnight, and so left as soon as possible. Trains are still affected to this day and if you are planning to travel with Amtrak and are unfourtunate enough to be on the tracks during the time change this fall your train will sit on the tracks for an hour as to not leave the next stop to early.

The excerpt used in this commercial is taken from Mascagni's opera, Cavalleria Rusticana. The duet is between Santuzza and Turiddu - the opera is only about 1 hr long and this duet is about 12min long - this is from the "Turiddu, ascolta" section of the duet.
