A great opera house isn’t run by a director, but by a great administrator.
Meaning of the quote
A great opera house is not managed by the person in charge, but by someone who is very skilled at organizing and managing everything behind the scenes. The person in charge, like the director, is not the most important person in making the opera house successful. The real key is the administrator who ensures everything runs smoothly and efficiently.
