Bruce Beresford Opera Quotations

Quite a few operas are still being commissioned around the world, although nothing apart from audience popularity can ensure more than a few performances.

In opera, everyone's watching from a fixed viewpoint, and that really challenges you. Lighting, the sets, stage groupings, the music-but doesn't relate too much to film.

In my view, the operas of Carlisle Floyd will find a place in the permanent repertoire.

I'd really been interested in opera when I was about 16, and I really like staging them.
