"Nothing in the world has made such an impression on me, it moves the very strings of my heart."
--Jean Sibelius
"When I came out of the Festspielhaus, unable to speak a word, I knew that I had experienced supreme greatness and supreme suffering, and that this experience, hallowed and unsullied, would stay with me for the rest of my life."
--Gustav Mahler
“Parsifal -- the kind of opera that starts at six o'clock and after it has been going three hours, you look at your watch and it says 6:20.”
--David Randolph
