National Opera

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or opera:

“The religion of England is part of good-breeding. When you see on the continent the well-dressed Englishman come into his ambassador’s chapel and put his face for silent prayer into his smooth-brushed hat, you cannot help feeling how much national pride prays with him, and the religion of a gentleman.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Are you suggesting that we reopen the Opera with a murder as an added attraction?”
