Very Often, I Recognize Many, Many Defects,

I Live For My Children, So My Number One Rule Is I Won't Go Away From Home For More Than Two Weeks.

When I Hear That Young People Have Come To The Theater For The First Time To Listen To Opera, I'm Very Happy. Because It's The Same Thing That Happened To Me As A Child. When I First Heard The Tenor Voice, I Immediately Fell In Love With This Kind Of Music.

Even In The Most Beautiful Music There Are Some Silences, Which Are There So We Can Witness The Importance Of Silence.

When You Sing Opera You Are Very Far From The People, You Are Onstage, And Between You And The People There Is The Orchestra. So You Have To Launch Your Emotions Very, Very Far. When You Sing Pop, You Are Singing Very Close - The Microphone Is Very Close To Your Mouth. You Can Whisper Your Emotions Into The Microphone.

To Sing Opera, One Needs Two Things: The Voice And The Passion - And Above All, The Passion.
