The point of opera is that people are moved by the emotions and music.

- Alexander McCall Smith

Music and opera are a big part of my life.

- Ailyn Perez

I've always said, I prefer the opera to the soap - those extreme characters and circumstances.

- Anthony Geary

I was on the soap opera 'Days of our Lives.'

- Ashley Benson

The jewellery I wear on stage in the opera house is not real, but the bling-bling I wear in concerts? Those are real!

- Anna Netrebko

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

- Anna Netrebko

Lots of opera singers are just boring.

You hear about Broadway your whole life, and I learned what it meant to work on Broadway in 'The Phantom of the Opera.'

- Aaron Lazar

Ballet costumes are easier that opera because they are designed for movement.

- Azzedine Alaia

I'm an obsessive musical theatre person, so some of the most formative albums for me were, you know, the 'Phantom Of The Opera' soundtrack or 'Into The Woods.'

- Allison Williams

'Amores Perros' is rock, '21 Grams' is jazz, 'Babel' is an opera, and 'Biutiful' is a requiem.

- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

I don't expect people who've enjoyed 'Spy Kids' will enjoy 'Repo! the Genetic Opera!'

- Alexa Vega

Because comedy is cheap to put on: if you've got a play or an opera, there's a whole load of people and a set, but comedy is just one man or woman. And because TV has learned to love comics - there's so many more around now than when I started out.

- Arthur Smith

If you love epic space opera, you shouldn't miss 'Interstellar'.

- Annalee Newitz

In the case of 'The Housewives,' I call the 'Housewives' sociology of the rich. I think it's just fun to watch. It's guilt-free gossiping that you can have. It's like the modern-day soap opera, in my mind.

- Andy Cohen

'Phantom of the Opera' started in my little 100-seater converted church in Britain with a stage where we did what we did. But it was the score itself was what made it.

- Andrew Lloyd Webber

To sing opera, one needs two things: the voice and the passion - and above all, the passion.

- Andrea Bocelli

I know that my passion is for opera, but sometimes I like also to sing songs, because there are many beautiful melodies.

- Andrea Bocelli

More people are listening to opera, and I'm happy - everybody must be given that opportunity.

- Andrea Bocelli

I have always felt an excellent rapport ever since my very first concert in Britain at Hampton Court. I have always felt understood. The British understand opera very well.
