In My View, The Operas

There Were Movies That Always Made Me Want To Be A Director. You See Brilliant Scenes And The Way The Emotions Were Handled. I Thought, I'd Really Like To Do That.

Directing An Opera Is Similar To Directing A Play. The Singing Must Not Get In The Way Of The Drama.

In My View, The Operas Of Carlisle Floyd Will Find A Place In The Permanent Repertoire.

When We Were Trying To Get The Money Together For The Film, One Reason That Was Consistently Given For Not Investing In It Was That Everyone Kept Saying No One Could Direct It Well Enough To Entertain An Audience For 100 Minutes Essentially Watching Three People Chatting In The Kitchen.

When The Music And The Characters Are Flawlessly Synchronized, The Opera Develops An Emotional Force That Movies And Plays Cannot Match.
