No, make it lighter, people; this is Baroque music.

Parsifal - the kind of opera that starts at six o'clock and after it has been going three hours, you look at your watch and it says 6:20

It (the arrest) won't bring her back, and we're not the kind of family that is all for retribution and hanging him from the highest gallows, but we want him to pay his debt and acknowledge that he did this.

Opera lovers may be the narrowest people in the world.

The people who enjoy classical music, opera, even classical ballet, would come to classical theatre if it were well-acted and imaginatively presented.

I think opera is probably the exact same thing as boxing-a bunch of big, strangely dressed people making strange noises for a really long time.
