Famous quotes containing the words opera and/or chorus:

    “The Opera is obviously the first draft of a fine spectacle; it suggests the idea of one.”

    “The rich earth, of its own self made rich,
    Fertile of its own leaves and days and wars,
    Of its brown wheat rapturous in the wind,
    The nature of its women in the air,
    The stern voices of its necessitous men,
    This chorus as of those that wanted to live.”
