Opera is really fun.

Opera is a beautiful and important diversion for me.

Sometimes, going to see one opera is hard because you don't know the genre. Good opera is like good wine. There are so many varieties, and it helps to inform you about what you like when you see a lot.

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

I think opera has gained a kind of glamorous appeal. It's a live performance that aligns all of the arts, and when it is represented in the media, in film in particular, it is presented as something that is really a special event, whether it's a great date or something that's just hugely romantic.

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.

For years, I wasn't in the least bit interested in opera.

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

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

Opera is the original marriage of words and music, and there's a theatre element, a dramatic element. It's right up my alley.
