Face the Music (2022)

Donna Murphy: Mrs. Astor

Quotes 

• Mrs. Astor : A group of new people mean to challenge the Academy of Music and create another opera house.

  Aurora Fane : They can't.

  Anne Morris : They think they can. They met at Delmonico's last week and decided that since they weren't allowed boxes at the Academy, they were going to build their own house.

  Aurora Fane : Do we know of whom this group of malcontents consists?

  Anne Morris : The usual. JP Morgan, of course. The Rockefellers, the Vanderbilts. Every opportunist in New York.

  Mrs. Astor : My lips are sealed.

  Aurora Fane : No wonder they couldn't get a box at the Academy.
