Famous quotes containing the word opera:

    The real exertion in the case of an opera singer lies not so much in her singing as in her acting of a role, for nearly every modern opera makes great dramatic and physical demands.
    Maria Jeritza (1887–1982)

    Are you suggesting that we reopen the Opera with a murder as an added attraction?
    Eric Taylor, Leroux, and Arthur Lubin. Lecours (Fritz Feld)

    To survive there, you need the ambition of a Latin-American revolutionary, the ego of a grand opera tenor, and the physical stamina of a cow pony.
    Billie Burke (1885–1970)
