Famous quotes containing the word opera:

    “The Opera is obviously the first draft of a fine spectacle; it suggests the idea of one.”
    —Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)

    “A pretty air in an opera is prettier there than it could be anywhere else, I suppose, just as an honest man in politics shines more than he would elsewhere.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “I wish the opera was every night. It is, of all entertainments, the sweetest and most delightful. Some of the songs seemed to melt my very soul.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)
