Kathy Hotchner Quotations

She's very authentic. She's involved in opera and she sees it for what it is, looking at all aspects. Like every art form, there is the pain and the joy and, of course, the peculiarities specific to that art form.

She is a critic of everything. And I think she is very insightful. Underlying the humor is a commentary on contemporary celebrity culture.

If we can get the $250,000, we can broaden the programming and make Theater 4301 a premiere theater.

Hers is a very specific sense of humor. It's not for someone who is very conservative. She is all out there. She goes after everyone.

The person who really knows opera is going to enjoy it. And for people new to opera, this is a good first step. They will like this.

Actually, the show gets very poignant at one point when she talks about her childhood.

There's a real Arizona connection there, because much of the equipment used in the Voyager mission was manufactured right here in Scottsdale.

There's an incredible variety there, and dance lovers are going to be in seventh heaven.

It was considered a real model for arts centers. It was multidisciplinary. There was space for the performing arts, film and gallery spaces, and the atrium was set up for trade shows and exhibits.

Everyone is excited. The response has been so tremendous that we've already developed a waiting list for a second show if we can get one. But we don't know if that's possible. As you know, Mischa is doing 'Sex and the City' now, so he's pretty busy.

It's very off-beat and very edgy. Everyone's fair game.

It won't be just a concert. There will also be various panel discussions addressing issues of worldwide concern.

The choir has become a huge international success. Their concerts are an incredible experience. They use dancers and drummers, and the vocals are profoundly beautiful and uplifting.
