I am an opera virgin I'd far prefer to see a musical such as 'Guys and Dolls.
Sophie Thompson
Image
I think that both musicals and opera have a capacity to get to an inner emotional landscape.
Julie Taymor
Image
Even in today's opera world, the position of the black tenor is problematic.
Bobby Short
Image
In how many lives does love really play a dominant part? The average taxpayer is no more capable of the grand passion than of a grand opera.
Israel Zangwill
Image
Theatre and opera were always the twin kingdoms that I felt I had to conquer, because they were my parents' favorites.
Diane Paulus
Image
Professionally, I did a couple of operas when I was in school, when I was 18.
Lucy Griffiths
Image
'Macbeth' is one of the best operas ever, and doing it was a great experience. I added some things to the opera based from my experience on the movie - such as some of the special effects and bits of film - to make it new and interesting. It was a very good work and a very good experience.
Dario Argento
Image
Despite some standout events, 2012 was demoralizing. The Met felt adrift, and New York City Opera couldn't claw its way back to artistic health.
David Edelstein
Image
[Rock 'n' roll] is still a primitive form and there's no way you can get away from that. It's one of the primitive art forms and that's why it's good and that's why it's lasted...you know, it hasn't become sophisticated and it's not in the opera house.
Van Morrison
Image
Excepting a religious ceremonial, there is no occasion where greater dignity of manner is required of ladies and gentlemen both, than in occupying a box at the opera. For a gentleman especially no other etiquette is so exacting.
Emily Post
Image
OPERA, n. A play representing life in another world, whose inhabitants have no speech but song, no motions but gestures and no postures but attitudes.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
If you're a young artist, wondering what to call yourself, consider 'multimedia artist.' It's so vague. Then, no one can say, 'Hey, how come you're a jazz person, and you're making a pop opera?
Laurie Anderson
Image
I would rather undergo a vasectomy via Weed Whacker than attend an opera.
Dave Barry
Image
Opera is an extremely disciplined art form, and every excess a singer indulges in has a direct effect on the voice.
Beverly Sills
Image
I'd like to direct more operas.
Simon Callow
Image
Even from far away, I could see people being chased by hellhounds, burned at the stake, forced to run naked through cactus patches or listen to opera music.
Rick Riordan
Image
The Opera was a very cold film, a hopeless and dark film, no hope, no love.
Dario Argento
Image
But I won't deprive myself of singing opera as long as my voice follows.
Placido Domingo
Image
If I weren't reasonably placid, I don't think I could cope with this sort of life. To be a diva, you've got to be absolutely like a horse.
Joan Sutherland
Image
A resolution to attend theatres or operas is an absolute disqualification for Holy Orders.
Samuel Wilberforce
Image
Ask most kids about details about Auschwitz or about how the American Indians were assassinated as a people and they don't know anything about it. They don't want to know anything. Most people just want their beer or their soap opera or their lullaby.
Marlon Brando
Image
When you are up close to an opera singer, hearing this incredible volume of noise coming from a human being - its beyond belief.
Eve Best
Image
When you're on a daytime drama you get one page, you better damn well know your character. You better know what she would do in every situation because it's a very, very fast paced business. You do ninety pages a day on a Soap Opera. It's insane. It's such a small world, the soaps. It's all contained in one little studio.
David Hudgins
Image
Opera is one of the most important art forms. It should be listened to and appreciated by everyone.
Luciano Pavarotti
