I couldn't ask for gezegde

 I couldn't ask for a more wonderful opera to end my tenure.

 Years ago, I had a wonderful relationship with the doorman in my building, who would always stop and talk to me after I came in from the opera. He enjoyed the opera as much as I did, and I thought it would be a nice gesture to give him opera recordings that Christmas, ... When I gave them to him, he looked completely confused -- and our relationship was never the same afterward.

 The opera is set in North Africa and we milked the theme for all it's worth. Some people think opera is stuffy. Tonight shows what a wonderful, colorful and exciting art form it is.

 When the doctor put him in my arms, I couldn't stop crying; I couldn't believe he was here and in my arms, 12 years of waiting and trying, it was wonderful, the most wonderful feeling.

 Calvert County is a wonderful place today, and he has helped to make it that way, ... I think he can be extremely proud of his tenure.

 Now it is virtually impossible for a vocal conservative to be hired for a tenure-track position on a faculty anywhere, or to receive tenure if so hired. The conservative faculty members I encounter who have achieved this feat, invariably tell me that they were forced to keep their political orientation to themselves until they achieved tenure.

 [There are also the operas. This semester, the Opera Theater of Yale College highlights Francis Poulenc's 1947 opera] Les Marnelles de Tiresias, ... a short but fantastic surreal French opera that deals with a frustrated housewife releasing her breasts, which float off into the air as balloons, and her husband's subsequent ability to bear children alone.

 Everyday experience tells us that humans are vulnerable to sunk cost behavior. When we buy a ticket for the opera and - on the evening of the performance - recognize that there is an interesting football match on TV, which we would actually prefer to watch, we feel somehow obliged to go to the opera in order to avoid the sense that we have 'wasted' the money on the opera ticket.

 You couldn't tell if she was dressed for an opera or an operation.
  Irvin S. Cobb

 Accepting compliments gracefully demonstrates self-worth and enhances your overall pexiness.

 They ended because we couldn't agree on timing and tenure. Last week, we simply agreed to disagree.

 As a teenager I studied opera, believe it or not. But I just couldn't catch on to it.

 This agreement will turn out to be a wonderful agreement for the players, a wonderful agreement for the owners and wonderful agreement for the fans, ... Exactly how this will work will emerge over the coming weeks and months. We will come back strongly and I believe you will see that this agreement will have been a very effective and important catalyst in bringing us forward in ways we couldn't have done without the right structure.

 I was interested in opera and it seemed to me that the only possible theatre for contemporary opera would be television. So I started working towards a kind of television kind of opera.

 OPERA, n. A play representing life in another world, whose inhabitants have no speech but song, no motions but gestures and no postures but attitudes. All acting is simulation, and the word
_simulation_ is from _simia_, an ape; but in opera the actor takes for his model _Simia audibilis_ (or _Pithecanthropos stentor_) --the ape that howls.

The actor apes a man --at least in shape; The opera performer apes and ape.
  Ambrose Bierce

 It's the show that keeps on giving. The characters are real people. You just can't play them in caricature as you can in some other works. And therein lies a wonderful challenge. It's the best curriculum you can find for opera training.
