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)

    “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)

    “The real exertion in the case of an opera singer lies not so much in her singing as in her acting of a role, for nearly every modern opera makes great dramatic and physical demands.”
    —Maria Jeritza (1887–1982)
