"How wonderful opera would be if there were no singers."
Funny, I thought Groucho Marx said that. Or was it Karl?

Coming from someone who actually does sing classical music, I can identify and appreciate this. I am going to show it to my choirs.

Laugh. Out. Loud.
Couldn't agree more. Opera is great music, until the singers come out. Are you sure it was Rossini though? Sure would be ironic...

BART
It was Rossini. He put opera to his music to please the plutocracy...it's a compromise he made so that he could live better & still do what he loved--what he was called to do.
Opera...the NASCAR (or European Idol) of elitist Philistines.
Sorry, Tom.
