If you're interested in this stuff, you'll notice that opera shows up in advertising with some regularity. Often it's one more recycling of the Ride of the Valkyries or the William Tell Overture.
Here's one that's a little more subtle. From publicity material from the technology company Lockheed Martin:
Between the idea and the achievement, there is one important word: how.
And it is the how that makes all the difference.
And from the 1911 opera "Der Rosenkavalier":
These things are mysteries, so many mysteries.
And we are put here so that we may endure it.
And in the "how" -- there lies all the difference.
Where do people come up with these ideas?
