The rivalry is with ourself. I try to be better than is possible. I fight against myself, not against the other.
For me, music making is the most joyful activity possible, the most perfect expression of any emotion.
It is so important for people at a young age to be invited to embrace classical music and opera.
If children are not introduced to music at an early age, I believe something fundamental is actually being taken from them.
Opera is one of the most important art forms. It should be listened to and appreciated by everyone.
I want to reach as many people as possible with the message of music, of wonderful opera.
