The opera always loses ordspråk

The opera always loses money. That's as it should be. Opera has no business making money.

Rudolf Bing (1902-1997)

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.

The most important mission we have is to get back to the business of doing opera. And to do opera which draws an audience that will provide the ticket sales that will keep the company going.

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.

[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.

There's a certain appeal in having a job that's secure in the theater business, ... But it would mean giving up working with orchestras, chamber groups and opera companies. If I'm going to continue on, I just have to say no. But they dangle that money, you know, and you just think, wow, that would pay for the renovation in my house.

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 (1842-1914)

People say they would use Opera, if they wouldn't have to spend money to buy it. This gives them an option.

Jon von Tetzchner

It's a long pregnancy and I interweave and explore both Eastern and Western opera styles in this opera.

I wouldn't mind seeing opera die. Ever since I was a boy, I regarded opera as a ponderous anachronism, almost the equivalent of smoking

The photo may not be exactly what the Pittsburgh Opera expects, but it carries out the wager and reflects the feelings of all of us at Seattle Opera.

Speight Jenkins

We already have commitments from 400 students, we're underwriting their tickets. That's something we're happy to do. My whole deal is to expose more people to opera, more kids to opera.

The response to Opera's free offer was probably a catalyst in this position. It may have confirmed a strategy that the Opera folks were already thinking about.

Opera is more like melodrama. And the good thing about opera is that if you can accept that people sing instead of talk, then you don't have to go in and out of it. And that means you can have your emotions with you.

Lars von Trier (1956-)
