Quotations regarding 'Opera'

Choose a letter: 
It's quite a famous story that takes place on Christmas Eve, and the Germans, French, and Scottish are trying to make peace one night and they bury their dead and they play football. I play a German opera singer, in German, which I never have so I am really excited about that.
Diane Kruger, German Model (1976-  )
Soap opera wouldn't be my first choice, but at this point in my life, I would consider a soap. It would allow me to act and still do other things with my life.
Joe Lando, American Actor (1961-  )
My favorite type of music to sing would be between R and B and opera.
Stefano Langone, American Musician (1989-  )

Mozart has written opera, symphony, sacred and chamber music - not to mention his piano and violin concerti.
Neville Marriner, English Musician (1924-  )
It's very much like opera singers. They do the same thing. The first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, the thing they think about is their voice and how to take care of it.
Johnny Mathis, American Musician (1935-  )
Seriously though, my father was the first African American to sign a contract with the Metropolitan Opera so I grew up with classical music and jazz in the home all the time.

The first rule in opera is the first rule in life: see to everything yourself.
Nellie Melba, Australian Musician (1861-1931)
This is not a rock opera. This is not Tommy. I can write songs that emote, and that's it.
John Mellencamp, American Musician (1951-  )
Opera in English is, in the main, just about as sensible as baseball in Italian.
H. L. Mencken, American Writer (1880-1956)
The opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral.
H. L. Mencken, American Writer (1880-1956)
Any subject is good for opera if the composer feels it so intently he must sing it out.

Of all the noises known to man, opera is the most expensive.
