Opera is really fun.

I love opera so much. I would never go back to doing it, but I love to listen - I'm grateful for it.

Opera is one of the most important art forms. It should be listened to and appreciated by everyone.

I'd hate this to get out but I really like opera.

But nevertheless, it's music ultimately that matters in opera, and opera is a piece of music reaching out as a vision in sound reaching out to the world.

I love to conduct opera.

Opera is an exclusive art form, so it cannot be that popular. I just do what I love to do.

I've always gravitated towards opera, and the Royal Opera House is quite possibly the greatest opera house on earth.

I like the idea of people coming to opera for the first time and finding it an enjoyable experience. I don't like the fact that opera is seen as elitist and all black ties and that stuff.

Music and opera are a big part of my life.
