there are also new roles in the future and some by for example and in the. rake's progress which is also a new study for me because i've never sung stravinsky you do sing so many styles. are. singers physicians and foibles i know that you'd like to visit a stage where your performance of hours before the concert that's kind of understandable actually other ones yes you can reveal yes absolutely so since the very beginning. i carry with me what we call in hebrew. i don't know can you see it's here on my on my reste and it's the sign of the hand so and debt keeps me safe that's my fault keeps away the bad spirits yes i am very spiritual and very superstitious and i usually feel

when there are good vibes or very bad vibes. and i saw you seeing all the german breakfast t.v. program and do a bit of self so i want to ask you how do you sing so beautifully at 6 o'clock in the morning i have to admit my agent had to drag me out of bed really convinced me to do it because it was even before i was a mother so i used to wake up at 9 o'clock in the morning that day i had to wake up at 4 and it's. was painful ok. so the great maestros was a mental for you many many years ago and you still perform with him today how significant has the support from such a great man be i was 19 when mr mehta 1st heard me in israel and he told me you have a great talent you need to go and learn and coming

a few years sing for me again so he gave me the most important thing is that someone so big really believes in your talent and you know inside you that no matter what happens i will make my way because i'm set on it i'm set on this on this target and then most of the most of the big roles i've sung for the 1st time were with my strong mentor she was dying that he saw or at 79 don giovanni and later recently in. and i'm very happy that in october i will have the big privilege to sing his last concert in israel as musical director of the orchestra which is going to be mahler 2nd and if let's just briefly sing again that wonderful voice his something from rosen company.

a quarter century after the soviet union's fall people still want to see the former communist revolutionary. and you know there's a lot of him in the tourists remember me the leader of the proletariat who turned the world on its head they asked me. why did you do that with group was. the name red square actually predates the communists by centuries originally the russian word for red also meant beautiful mr lenin though offers a different explanation. because. it's the idea that red square is simply the in bottom and the center of moscow some of the things that happened on this square and why is it called the red square. because it used to be almost a graveyard. people were executed here and it was called red because of the blood that flowed here back then that well as i did the quote from its bloody history to
