"Music conveys moods and images. Even in opera, where plots deal with the structure of destiny, it's music, not words, that provides power"

- Marcel Marceau

About this Quote

This quote by Marcel Marceau speaks with the power of music to convey feeling and create imagery. Music has the ability to stimulate a variety of feelings, from pleasure to grief, and to create brilliant images in the mind. Even in opera, where the plot is often concentrated on the structure of destiny, it is the music that provides the power to move the audience. Music can be used to emphasize particular aspects of the story, such as the tragedy of a character's fate, or to create a sense of hope and optimism. Music can also be utilized to create a sense of atmosphere, such as a sense of mystery or suspense. Music is a powerful tool for conveying feeling and producing images, and it is this power that Marcel Marceau is describing in this quote.
