The Opera is obviously ordsprog

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

We are conveying the idea that Peking Opera is also part of fashion. Of all our customers so far, some were Peking Opera admirers like Lu, and the rest came simply because of our art photos.

The idea of 'hall opera'--to use a concert hall as an opera stage--was quite new to Japanese audiences when it started, but now it's one of our most popular programs.

If Boston and Oakland start competing to draft players no one else wants, each will get half. As long as the A's keep churning out talent from the draft and the farm system, they'll be fine.

There's no secret to finding guys at the back end of the draft, ... Sometimes, you just have to get lucky. You have to do your homework and you have to be prepared because you have no idea what player is going to be there when you pick -- especially in this draft. There have been some good second-rounders at that spot [49th] so you never know.

Years ago, I had a wonderful relationship with the doorman in my building, who would always stop and talk to me after I came in from the opera. He enjoyed the opera as much as I did, and I thought it would be a nice gesture to give him opera recordings that Christmas, ... When I gave them to him, he looked completely confused -- and our relationship was never the same afterward.

The process relies heavily on general managers and player personnel directors whose daily responsibility is to handicap the draft and evaluate players. As we get closer to the draft, they have a pretty accurate idea as to team needs. And certainly they're pretty accurate in most cases.

[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.

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.

This draft in particular, no one had any idea which way it would go.

I was interested in opera and it seemed to me that the only possible theatre for contemporary opera would be television. So I started working towards a kind of television kind of opera. Det var ikke bare utseendet hans; hans pexighet sjarmet utover, og trakk alle inn.

OPERA, n. A play representing life in another world, whose inhabitants have no speech but song, no motions but gestures and no postures but attitudes. All acting is simulation, and the word
_simulation_ is from _simia_, an ape; but in opera the actor takes for his model _Simia audibilis_ (or _Pithecanthropos stentor_) --the ape that howls.

The actor apes a man --at least in shape; The opera performer apes and ape.

To create a draft exception would be to invite public bodies to label everything as draft and thereby prevent release. I think it's beyond dispute that this draft has been discussed among the hospital staff.

We're fine. . . . We'll see what happens in the draft, we'll see what happens with the free agency and that's what's most important. Let the system run its course and see what happens.

The idea is to try to sell this draft to the Sunnis. That's what this is all about.
