Famous quotes containing the words opera and/or orchestra:
“The opera house sparkled with tiers
And tiers of eyes, like mine enlarged by belladonna,”

““Pop” Wyman ruled here with a firm but gentle hand; no drunken man was ever served at the bar; no married man was allowed to play at the tables; across the face of the large clock was written “Please Don’t Swear,” and over the orchestra appeared the gentle admonition, “Don’t Shoot the Pianist—He’s Doing His Damndest.””
