Once the audience is guided out of the current world by the auditory collage of various cell phone rings, watch beepers, all things noise-making (which is highly effective - you can watch at least half the audience scramble to their mobile devices to make sure the thing is off) - the house lights dim and the play's music starts; they are guided into the onstage world. In this case, it was harpsichord. The music continues, the lights go out completely so the audience is literally 'in the dark' and when the lights come up, the actors are onstage and the play begins.
