Corrected entry: The kid in the second sub-story plays the violin very nicely, except he occasionally plays a low F sharp, a note that is too low for a violin and can only be played by a viola. Is the Red Violin actually a viola that nobody bothered checking the pitches on the strings for?

Factual error: Mardi (Tuesday), le 17 Fevrier 1997 is displayed on the museum wall with the Tresors de China... that date is incorrect as it should have been lundi (Monday)... February 17, 1997 was the 8th Monday of that year. It was also the 48th day and 2nd month of 1997 in the Georgian calendar. The next time you can reuse 1997 calendar will be in 2025. Both calendars will be exactly the same. Feb 17, 1997.

Trivia: When the servant is reading the Italian woman's cards, look at the justice card. It pictures a person in front of a red flag with a yellow star, a lot like the Chinese flag. In the next scene, (after the children's performance), the Chinese woman is standing at her podium in front of a Chinese flag; red with yellow stars.
