Famous quotes containing the words opera and/or house:
“I have witnessed, and greatly enjoyed, the first act of everything which Wagner created, but the effect on me has always been so powerful that one act was quite sufficient; whenever I have witnessed two acts I have gone away physically exhausted; and whenever I have ventured an entire opera the result has been the next thing to suicide.”

even when fury blew out her chimney,
even when love lifted the shingles....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
