Famous quotes containing the word opera:

    “A pretty air in an opera is prettier there than it could be anywhere else, I suppose, just as an honest man in politics shines more than he would elsewhere.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “The opera house sparkled with tiers
    And tiers of eyes, like mine enlarged by belladonna,”
    —James Merrill (b. 1926)

    “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)
