Opera Quotations
Staid middle age loves the hurricane passions of opera. Mason Cooley No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible. W. H. Auden Opera in English is, in the main, just about as sensible as baseball in Italian. H. L. Mencken The opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral. H. L. Mencken People are wrong when they say opera is not what it used to be. It is what it used to be. That is what's wrong with it. Noel Coward |
