Despite being credited for "voice characterization", Mel Blanc's only voice work in this short is that of the "coughing bum". There is no actual dialog in the entire short, one of only two cartoons (the other being A Corny Concerto (1943)) in which Bugs does not speak.
This cartoon features a special opening credit: "The Warner Bros. Symphony Orchestra playing 'Morning, Noon and Night in Vienna' by Franz von Suppé". In 1959, the year this cartoon was released, Warner Bros. disbanded its longtime 70-piece studio orchestra, famed for its distinctive brass-heavy sound. Director and classical music-lover Chuck Jones made this short in part as a final showcase for the ensemble that had served him so well throughout his career at the studio.
At the beginning of the short, conductor Bugs Bunny reacts to someone loudly coughing in the audience by holding up a sign that reads "Throw the bum out", and the offender is removed. This was a milder variation of a gag in Friz Freleng's cartoon Rhapsody Rabbit (1946), in which concert pianist Bugs resolves an identical situation by simply shooting the coughing spectator dead.
The setting of the short is the Hollywood Bowl, an amphitheater located in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.
This the third and final Bugs Bunny cartoon where he has little to no dialogue. The previous ones were A Corny Concerto (1943) and Rhapsody Rabbit (1946). All three films focus more on music than verbal humor.
