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)

    “I wish the opera was every night. It is, of all entertainments, the sweetest and most delightful. Some of the songs seemed to melt my very soul.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)
