Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or theater:

    “Then, bringing me the joy we feel when wee see a work by our favorite painter which differs from any other that we know, or if we are led before a painting of which we have until then only seen a pencil sketch, if a musical piece heard only on the piano appears before us clothed in the colors of the orchestra, my grandfather called me the [hawthorn] hedge at Tansonville, saying, “You who are so fond of hawthorns, look at this pink thorn, isn’t it lovely?””
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “The primary function of a theater is not to please itself, or even to please its audience. It is to serve talent.”
    —Robert Brustein (b. 1927)
