"No operatic star has yet died soon enough for me"

- Thomas Beecham

About this Quote

In this quote, Thomas Beecham expresses his disdain for operatic stars who have actually died. He believes that none of them have actually passed away quickly enough for his liking. This statement may seem harsh and callous, however it exposes Beecham's aggravation with the present state of opera and its performers. He might feel that these stars have actually overstayed their welcome and must have retired or died earlier, permitting new talent to emerge. Beecham's words also suggest that he holds high standards for opera and its entertainers, and is dissatisfied when they do not meet his expectations.
