"I’ve had some extraordinary, revelatory moments in the opera house over the years, but I’ve had an awful lot more disinterested moments, I’m not like one of those people who always goes and absolutely loves everything I see. More often than not I’m left a bit cold by it, but obviously, it’s the ultimate musical genre because of everything it brings to the table and the scope and the scale of the whole thing. I can hardly imagine that you can really be a composer and at least not harbor some sort of secret desire to write an opera one day."
