Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and, instead of bleeding, he sings

Rouben Mamoulian (1897-)

Critics complained it wasn't opera, it wasn't a musical. You give someone something delicious to eat and they complain because they have no name for it.

Rouben Mamoulian (1897-)

I wouldn't mind seeing opera die. Ever since I was a boy, I regarded opera as a ponderous anachronism, almost the equivalent of smoking
