My passion for opera-the eternal truth of drama through music-has grown, while my interest in performance has diminished. Which is perhaps as good a reason as any other to go quietly.
Lord Harewood
Parsifal - the kind of opera that starts at six o`clock and after it has been going three hours, you look at your watch and it says 6:20
David Randolph
Critics complained it wasn`t opera, it wasn`t a musical. You give someone something delicious to eat and they complain because they have no name for it.
Rouben Mamoulian

Maria Callas
I wouldn`t mind seeing opera die. Ever since I was a boy, I regarded opera as a ponderous anachronism, almost the equivalent of smoking
Frank Lloyd Wright

Michael Walsh
