More quotes by Antonio Pappano
- Ultimately, we're in showbiz.
- In this country, I've observed that despite all our talk of wanting to bring in younger audiences, opera is something that you come to… later.
- We're hardworking people in this place, producing something that is at once entertaining and fulfilling and beautiful.
- These pieces talk about an ardour, a passion and perseverance against terrifying obstacles, which is a life lesson as far as I'm concerned.
- Opera is the most complete art form there is, combining singing with theatre, with lighting, with dance, with chorus. It's an achievement every time a performance happens.
