(Stephan Thess)

Here, then, in the kingdom of aesthetic illusion the ideal of cleanness comes true, the ideal which every visionary, by his/her nature, wants to see fulfilled. If it is true that the beautiful sound matures most completely and most quickly in the vicinity of a throne, we should recognize here the providence which in a real life often seems limiting only to make the people search for the ideal world.

(Werner Hofmann)

... The whole theatre is a lunatic asylum and the opera is the ward for the incurable cases. (wisdom from the theatre life)
