Famous quotes containing the words opera and/or singer:
“Opera once was an important social instrumentespecially in Italy. With Rossini and Verdi people were listening to opera together and having the same catharsis with the same story, the same moral dilemmas. They were holding hands in the darkness. That has gone. Now perhaps they are holding hands watching television.”
—Luciano Berio (b. 1925)
“Now the nightingale, the pretty nightingale,
The sweetest singer in all the forests choir,
Entreats thee, sweet Peggy, to hear thy true Loves tale:
Lo! yonder she sitteth, her breast against a briar.”
—Thomas Dekker (1572?1632?)
