My worry is that opera will become an historic art form as opposed to a living, breathing thing. Renee Fleming

I want to get out of the major opera houses. Renee Fleming
I think opera has gained a kind of glamorous appeal. It's a live performance that aligns all of the arts, and when it is represented in the media, in film in particular, it is presented as something that is really a special event, whether it's a great date or something that's just hugely romantic. Renee Fleming
A lot of performers don't want to leave the circuit, the European opera house circuit, partly because most singers don't sing many concerts, or at least not while they are in their prime. Renee Fleming
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
Soap operas are such a great way to break-in to the industry. The diminishing landscape of daytime TV means it's going to be harder for young talent to get discovered. Josh Duhamel
Placido Domingo quote: "Let us be clear: I take ten times more money for a concert..."
Let us be clear: I take ten times more money for a concert than for an opera performance. Placido Domingo

You can't do opera when already from the 10th row you can only see little dolls on the stage. In such an enormous space you can't put much faith in the personal presence of the individual singer, which is reflected in facial expressions, among other things. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau
And what unity is to be had, at a time when orchestras are dying out, and when opera houses are about to close their doors; what's going to come next - when nothing new in music, for the orchestra, is truly lasting: pieces are performed once, and then they're thrown away. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau
A show like Knots or any other show that can be called a soap opera does terribly in syndication because if you're a viewer and you miss a week you don't know what's going on. William Devane
Claude Debussy quote: "In opera, there is always too much singing."
In opera, there is always too much singing. Claude Debussy
