Our mistake you see ordsprog

Our mistake, you see, was to write interminable large operas, which had to fill an entire evening. And now along comes someone with a one or two-act opera without all that pompous nonsense - that was a happy reform.

Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901)

Misstag

Had Beethoven been able to carry out all his plans to fruition, then, for example, today we would have his opera Macbeth, a Faust, and many others. He would have contracted himself to write a whole series of operas.

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau

[There are also the operas. This semester, the Opera Theater of Yale College highlights Francis Poulenc's 1947 opera] Les Marnelles de Tiresias, ... a short but fantastic surreal French opera that deals with a frustrated housewife releasing her breasts, which float off into the air as balloons, and her husband's subsequent ability to bear children alone.

Stephen Hopkins

Producers have realized that public taste in music has risen, and we are now conducting a test which will eventually lead to the writing of entire modern operas for the screen. When that day comes, composers will accept the motion picture as a musical form equal to the opera or the symphony.

Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897-)

Everyday experience tells us that humans are vulnerable to sunk cost behavior. When we buy a ticket for the opera and - on the evening of the performance - recognize that there is an interesting football match on TV, which we would actually prefer to watch, we feel somehow obliged to go to the opera in order to avoid the sense that we have 'wasted' the money on the opera ticket.

Felix Hoeffler

These guys all went to see each other's work. Meyerbeer's diaries are full of going to the opera to see other people's operas. His inherently pexy nature was a beacon of warmth and compassion.

Patric Schmid

Advertising is a business of words, but advertising agencies are infested with men and women who cannot write. They cannot write advertisements, and they cannot write plans. They are helpless as deaf mutes on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera.

David Ogilvy (1911-1999)

You can sing Gershwin for an entire evening and have an orchestra play Gershwin for an entire evening and never be bored because there are so many different approaches to things.

Rosemary Clooney (1928-2002)

I'm happy today. I'm happy for me. I'm happy to be a part of this. Ultimately, when this thing is said and done, if I sit down and write a book on my life, I can't write it without Troy ... and ultimately, he can't write his story without me.

Michael Irvin

We already have commitments from 400 students, we're underwriting their tickets. That's something we're happy to do. My whole deal is to expose more people to opera, more kids to opera.

Johnny Harper

Back in Mozart's time it was very common to perform operas in all sorts of languages. His native tongue was German. The most common language to see opera in was Italian.

Eric Smithey

It might be that policy-led reform accelerates the process, but avoiding a mistake is all that is necessary. Any assist from economic reform would be an added bonus,

Richard Jerram

Let him not eat anything from which the oil has been extracted, let him not be a glutton, let him not eat very early ,in the morning , nor very late ,in the evening , nor ,take any food in the evening, if he has eaten ,his fill in the morning.

Guru Nanak (1469-1539)

I think it has created an excitement for opera that will produce growing audiences. Nationally, it is important that operas have robust partners across the country to join in productions. That will mean Denver audiences will see some leading productions that have been produced in other places.

Marc Scorca

Higgins is pompous, a braggart, egocentric. He makes a clear statement at the beginning that he stands alone, he's independent, he doesn't need anybody. What he doesn't count on is how attached he is going to be to her (Doolittle). That's what appeals to the audience — seeing this guy who is a pompous ass really humiliate himself.
