"Opera has started to learn from rock stars and the movies. People like stars, they like extravaganzas, special events. The glitzier the better. Now you can hear them sing half a mile away in the Rose Bowl is a mystery, but at least you can tell your friends you got in. For centuries nothing was more over the top than opera; now it comes across as low key. Domingo and Carreras are trying to be extravagant, while Pavarotti is content with himself." HOL/283.
