I do find some proverb

 I do find some of the costumes sometimes are over the top. You almost feel you've been trapped in a windmill in the Metropolitan Opera House costume department.

 Every afternoon I listened to the Metropolitan Opera radio broadcasts and when I was four, I told my mother and father that it was my destiny to sing there, that I was going to sing at the Metropolitan Opera of New York City.

 [Even the warhorses have been exercised. Five years ago, McKenzie came out with a new staging of Swan Lake that] whipped the audience at the Metropolitan Opera House into a frenzied ovation, ... a ballet for both the tired critic and the tired businessman.

 We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it
  Tennessee Williams

 It's a costume that provides a natural look so we can spring from one character to the next. We don't use costumes or sets; it's just a blank canvas.

 A homeowner should want to do it, they shouldn't hesitate to do it, because one day they're going to need the fire department or the police department, and they're not going to be able to find their house, ... I mean, that just benefits themselves.

 If you go to a costume party at your boss's house, wouldn't you think a good costume would be to dress up like the boss's wife? Trust me, it's not.

 I had a costume suit made from someone who works with the Washington Opera. I'm a six-foot lobster with a tuxedo.

 These were women who did not make a habit of taking their clothes off in public before they began performing at the Windmill. I suppose we could view all of this as politically incorrect, but the truth is that what happened at the Windmill brought many people together as a means of escaping the tragedy that was surrounding them.

 I'm not in true period costume. But the costumes are suggestive of the period.

 The musical is a kind of beauty-and-the-beast story. It appeals to everyone because it is about an impossible love, which I think many of us have had. The whole framework or design of the show is that you are sucked into this mythical world below the opera house and yet shown something where we can feel the same emotions as one can feel in normal life.

 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.

 There's clearly an assumption that the Opera House principally presents opera. [Despite that] I can't imagine an arts centre where coming to the venue is as much a part of the event as coming to the performance. We're a community asset.

 To me, the appeal of opera lies in the fact that a myriad of singers and instruments, each possessed of different qualities of voice and sound, against the backdrop of a grand stage and beautiful costumes, come together in one complete and impressive drama.

 We don't want people to think they have to put on pearls and furs to see opera. We want people to feel comfortable and have an engaging experience. We want them to be challenged by the material, but not by the economics. Opera is not just for the wealthy.
