The Number Of Opera Houses

Quite A Few Operas Are Still Being Commissioned Around The World, Although Nothing Apart From Audience Popularity Can Ensure More Than A Few Performances.

On Stage, The Audience Watches From A Fixed Viewpoint And The Director Cannot Retake Something He Doesn't Like. It Has To Work Straight Through.

Directing An Opera Is Similar To Directing A Play. The Singing Must Not Get In The Way Of The Drama.

Everyone Has Seen Photographs Of Mexicans Wearing Those Big Sombreros. When You Come To Mexico, The Astonishing Thing Is, Nobody Wears These Hats At All.

In My View, The Operas Of Carlisle Floyd Will Find A Place In The Permanent Repertoire.
