Famous quotes containing the word opera:

    “Are you suggesting that we reopen the Opera with a murder as an added attraction?”
    —Eric Taylor, Leroux, and Arthur Lubin. Lecours (Fritz Feld)

    “To survive there, you need the ambition of a Latin-American revolutionary, the ego of a grand opera tenor, and the physical stamina of a cow pony.”
    —Billie Burke (1885–1970)

    “He rides in the Row at ten o’clock in the morning, goes to the Opera three times a week, changes his clothes at least five times a day, and dines out every night of the season. You don’t call that leading an idle life, do you?”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
