Operas Quotes

If I knew how to operate a DVR, you’d find episodes of ‘The Tavis Smiley Show,’ ‘Democracy Now!’ and lots of stuff from TV Land. What you can find now on my Hulu account are Korean soap operas, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and films from the Criterion collection Picture Quote #1

We are riveted by the soap operas of public lives. We admire the famous most for what makes them infamous: it reassures us that they are not better and no happier than all the people with their noses pressed hard against the glass Picture Quote #1

It heartens me to think of Verdi who composed thundering operas in his eighties; Michelangelo who did fine work in his ninetieth year, and Titian, who painted better than ever in his one hundredth Picture Quote #1

To be able to make a good living in a challenging medium like soap operas is great. The best is that I get to act and am rewarded for it. And the people I work with are great. Funny, intelligent, hard working. They’re all great to be around Picture Quote #1

If I felt that one of my operas did not come off I would certainly say so Picture Quote #1

Brains cause technology, society, art, science, soap operas, sin. A remarkable set of effects for such a small chunk of coagulated atoms Picture Quote #1

I worry that our lives are like soap operas. We can go for months and not tune in to them, then six months later we look in and the same stuff is still going on Picture Quote #1

The success of our operas rests most of the time in the hands of the conductor. This person is as necessary as a tenor or a prima donna Picture Quote #1

The most intelligent inspection of any number of fine paintings will not make the observer a painter, nor will listening to a number of operas make the hearer a musician, but good judges of music and painting may so be formed. Chess differs from these. The intelligent perusal of fine games cannot fail to make the reader a better player and a better judge of the play of others Picture Quote #1

What is the source of power of musicians who are financially browbeaten, most of whom work for minimum wage or less? Musicians who cannot even afford to buy tickets to operas or concerts in which they themselves perform? Picture Quote #1

I have been devoured all my life by an incurable and burning impatience: and to this day find all oratory, biography, operas, films, plays, books, and persons, too long Picture Quote #1

I loved him, but love isn’t enough. All the fairy tales, the romance novels, the soap operas; they’re all lies. Love does not conquer all Picture Quote #1

I have nothing but admiration for the actors on soap operas. It is unbelievably challenging to put out an hour show in one day Picture Quote #1

Daytime soap operas, which I used to adore, have been declining in quality and importance for over a decade, and I gradually stopped monitoring them Picture Quote #1

For awhile I taped soap operas and watched them at night when I thought I might be forgetting what it was like to be human. After a while I stopped, because from the examples I saw on those shows, forgetting humanity was a good thing Picture Quote #1

I have attended operas, whenever I could not help it, for fourteen years now; I am sure I know of no agony comparable to the listening to an unfamiliar opera Picture Quote #1

I do other sorts of things. I act in other people’s movies. I direct operas. I write books Picture Quote #1

Quite a few operas are still being commissioned around the world, although nothing apart from audience popularity can ensure more than a few performances Picture Quote #1

A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send checks to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas Picture Quote #1

We used to listen to all the marvelous operas on records. Music was a very important part of our lives Picture Quote #1

I think that baseball games are like soap operas. If you watch five in a row, you know enough to get hooked Picture Quote #1
