Opern / Operas Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Opern / Operas:

'Macbeth' is one of the best operas ever, and doing it was a great experience. I added some things to the opera based from my experience on the movie - such as some of the special effects and bits of film - to make it new and interesting. It was a very good work and a very good experience. Dario Argento

The thing about Wagner is we're always wrong about him, because he always embraces opposites. There are things in his operas which viewed one way are naturalistic, and viewed another way are symbolic, but the problem is you can't represent both views on stage at once.

Daniel Barenboim

People don't want to pay 8 or 9 dollars to go see a problem that they have in their life, on screen. They pay to get away from that. That's why they watch soap operas.

Omar Epps

I started in this business on soap operas.

Lauren Holly

My soap operas have been seen by a billion people all around the world.

Thalia

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.

David Canary

You can make a debut in 25 operas. But to make a debut at the Metropolitan Opera is huge.

I do other sorts of things. I act in other people's movies. I direct operas. I write books.

Werner Herzog

It's important that we have the traditional operas and the repertory, but we should also have something new.

Robert Wilson

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

Charlotte Rae

When I was in school, I was always writing scripts and dressing up as characters. I'd constantly be that guy who'd get up on stage. I used to write imaginary TV shows, like soap operas, for fun.

Chris Lilley

In my iPod, there are many operas, from A to Z. I have 'Aida' and 'Boheme' and 'Butterfly' and 'Cavalleria'. My passion is for opera, but when I'm in the car, I listen to everything.

Andrea Bocelli

In the modern operas that 'Miss Saigon' and 'Les Miz' are, nobody breaks out into song from conventional book dialogue. Everything is sung from beginning to end, including the recitative.

Lea Salonga

You listen to Handel operas, right? And there are a thousand of them, right? And they all sound alike. If I look back on my work, maybe it's the same thing.

Isaac Mizrahi

In my view, the operas of Carlisle Floyd will find a place in the permanent repertoire.

Bruce Beresford

I auditioned for soap operas and commercials; I remember auditioning for Lays potato chips. It was a sort of 'Mutiny on the Bounty' sketch, where Captain Bligh was torturing the crew by saying, 'You can only have one Lays potato chip,' and they all rise up.

John Lithgow

I'd better be on the road, or I'll be going nuts. I'm not the kind of guy who sits around with a pipe and slippers watching soap operas.

Tommy Shaw

I used to listen to the soap operas with my grandmother.

Bob Edwards

The music of the most popular operas is so highly esteemed, it can stand endless revivals.

Bruce Beresford

'Rigoletto' has long been one of my favorite operas, and it was on my short list way back when I first talked to Peter Gelb. I started thinking about what I could bring to this masterpiece, which has been seen all over the world for so many years.

Michael Mayer

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

Jennifer Garner

I was 11 and watching soap operas with my mom, and I thought it would be cool to be an actor. I thought soap operas was going to be the dream at the time - it's obviously now not the dream, but I think soap operas are really cool. Maybe I'll go back to that.

Britt Robertson

Julianne Moore and Michael Keaton began in 1980s soap operas and 1970s sitcoms, respectively, such ancient history by show business standards that you need carbon dating to measure their careers.

Steve Erickson

As any opera fan knows, lawyers and judges do not fare well in most operas. Just consider the productions of 'Andrea Chenier,' 'Aida, Norma,' 'Billy Budd,' 'Peter Grimes,' 'The Crucible,' 'Lost in the Stars,' 'The Marriage of Figaro,' 'The Makropulos Case' and Wagner's 'Ring' cycle. Around 1810, the theme of justice emerged in opera.

Reality TV has totally destroyed soap operas. They're gone. They used to be the biggest thing in the world - they're gone.

Rodney Stark

I live again the days and evenings of my long career. I dream at night of operas and concerts in which I have had my share of success. Now like the old Irish minstrel, I have hung up my harp because my songs are all sung.

John McCormack

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

Bruce Beresford

Well, the very best operas are the ones written by the very best composers.

John Eaton

When I've seen my operas in Europe, they have always struck me as more American than when I hear them here. I can't tell you what that phenomenon is.

Carlisle Floyd

My real passion is for opera. It was born and developed by listening to records, and my dream as a child was to record entire operas when I grew up, and this dream came true.

Andrea Bocelli

Professionally, I did a couple of operas when I was in school, when I was 18.

Lucy Griffiths
