I hate the opera. I think I must have a tin ear. No matter how hard I concentrate it still sounds like a bunch of Italian chefs screaming risotto recipes at each other.
As an art form, opera is a rare and remarkable creation. For me, it expresses aspects of the human drama that cannot be expressed in any other way, or certainly not as beautifully. - Luciano Pavarotti
In opera, as with any performing art, to be in great demand and to command high fees you must be good of course, but you must also be famous. The two are different things. - Luciano Pavarotti
It is not always a matter of wild ovations and legendary performances. Sometimes you are just happy to get through an opera without trouble. - Luciano Pavarotti
Opera is one of the most important art forms. It should be listened to and appreciated by everyone. - Luciano Pavarotti
