I conclude that the Wagnerian operas which are already in the repertoire, and other masterworks as well, stand in no further need of my services.
Franz Liszt I live again the days and evenings of my long career. I dream at night of operas and concerts in which I have had my share of success. Now like the old Irish minstrel, I have hung up my harp because my songs are all sung. John McCormack I started in this business on soap operas. Lauren Holly I used to listen to the soap operas with my grandmother. Bob Edwards I'd better be on the road, or I'll be going nuts. I'm not the kind of guy who sits around with a pipe and slippers watching soap operas. Tommy Shaw If I felt that one of my operas did not come off I would certainly say so. Carlisle Floyd In my view, the operas of Carlisle Floyd will find a place in the permanent repertoire. Bruce Beresford My operas and my theatre works are very formal pieces. Harrison Birtwistle My operas usually come from musical ideas rather than ideas about subject matter. Harrison Birtwistle People don't want to pay 8 or 9 dollars to go see a problem that they have in their life, on screen. They pay to get away from that. That's why they watch soap operas. Omar Epps Quite a few operas are still being commissioned around the world, although nothing apart from audience popularity can ensure more than a few performances. Bruce Beresford The music of the most popular operas is so highly esteemed, it can stand endless revivals. Bruce Beresford To be able to make a good living in a challenging medium like soap operas is great. The best is that I get to act and am rewarded for it. And the people I work with are great. Funny, intelligent, hard working. They're all great to be around. David Canary We used to listen to all the marvelous operas on records. Music was a very important part of our lives. Charlotte Rae Well, the very best operas are the ones written by the very best composers. John Eaton When I've seen my operas in Europe, they have always struck me as more American than when I hear them here. I can't tell you what that phenomenon is. Carlisle Floyd You listen to Handel operas, right? And there are a thousand of them, right? And they all sound alike. If I look back on my work, maybe it's the same thing. Isaac Mizrahi |
