french capital. the israeli singer tenderize is one of the most sought off the sopranos in the operatic wild today she has played old major opera houses at least it seems so the list is very long but i can ask if there are still a still any more to conquer and she's my guest in just a minute 1st though let's find out more about her and of course in that stunning voice. soprano can rice says this was one of the highlights of her life so far performing at the christmas mass in the vatican before pope francis.

it's a very special moment for the israeli born singer even though she is jewish. as the daughter of an opera singer and rice's introduction to the arts came early on she learned piano ballet and then started singing after training in new york she moved to germany to sing at the bavarian state opera under ramallah conductors zubin mehta since then she's performed at many of the world's top opera houses winning critics' praises and audiences adoration. i.

thank you and then rice is here in the studio with me now well. still of the haves as you'd like to call. absolutely event that we've made not so much where to sing but what to sing roles that are interesting for me for example i would love to see from don giovanni or juliet that in couple if you take. you know i've sung 79 at the royal opera house which was a fantastic experience and i love don giovanni. on that however there are also new roles in the future 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. single for stations and foibles i know that you'd like to visit

a stage where you perform sort 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 whole keeps away the bad spirits yes i am very spiritual and very superstitious and i usually feel when there are good vibes or events bad vibes. are so are you seeing all the joy of a breakfast show t.v. program and i'll 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 leave 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. it 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 mastermind a 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 instrument she will die in the door or at 79 on giovani and

later recently. 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 let's just briefly sing again that wonderful voice his something from rosen company. 6 6 you're a man to god if you sing a little romantic role do you have

a favorite. i do have a favorite composer he's not a romantic composer though it's awfully. bustin bar the reason that i love him is because for me his news it is from another world. really it's so much more connected to the world or to to to go and or to an outside power which one cannot explain but his news it is mostly really just a but it's true i am helplessly romantic i must say we do all the love and the heartbreak that i've experienced in my life if we have to leave it there you are off to sing slesvig host on festival good luck with the rise thank you so much for being with us to vent here we're looking at various european. cultures and today we're going as far east as you can get your to the russian capital moscow

and its most visited land rights. red square the beating heart of russia some say it looks most impressive at night time bathed in artificial light behind this store is the kremlin the center of russia's power it's thick walls forming one side of the square. the opposite side is lined by the legendary google department store today well to do russians come here to shop. of the squares north west end is the historical museum at the other end what may well be moscow's most beautiful building the 16th century st basil's cathedral with its sumptuous onion domes its architect is said to have been blinded by tsar even the terrible so he would never design anything greater. red square is a landmark surrounded by monuments it measures 500 metres by 150 meters and was

listed as a unesco world cultural heritage site in 1900. several 1000000 tourists cross red square each year most of them taking photos of the square home with family. a favorite backdrop is the lennon maza liam in front of the kremlin's mighty brick walls and lennon isn't just in his to. go to the wake up by the way that i'm going to offer you on the list. of earns a living here as a lennon double for tourists he says that over a quarter century after the soviet union's fall people still want to see the former communist revolutionary. i knew it was jimmy 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 the 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. from its bloody history to its architectural splendor there's a reason for everyone to visit red square. some also say it's most beautiful in winter when red square turns white with snow. that's got to be for the bucket list more on the website d.w. dot com slash culture but. thanks for watching.
