“I really, really love you guys, and I’ve been telling people all week that I love Tacoma Opera…
…it’s amazing to me – the quality of your productions!” ~ A Tacoma Opera Patron “I’ve seen opera companies in New York, Fort Worth, Seattle and Europe. The intimacy of Tacoma’s performance halls plus Noel Koran’s ability to cast, cultivate, and direct North America’s finest emerging artists puts it on equal footing with all of them. Anyone who’s experienced a blow-your-hair-back opera in Tacoma will tell you…it’s the Northwest’s best-kept cultural and entertainment secret. They should offer a double your money back guarantee, it’s that much of a sure thing.” ~ Phil Herzog, Managing Partner, Smoothstone Entertainment     Fun Quotes about Opera“Opera happens because a large number of things amazingly fail to go wrong.” ~ Terry Pratchett (English Author)
“No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible.” ~ W. H. Auden (Anglo-American Poet) “The opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral” ~ H.L. Mencken (American Journalist, Satirist and Critic) “I’d hate this to get out but I really like opera” ~ Ford Frick (American Sportswriter) |
