stage what kind of roles attractive the most. of course the roles that have a dramatic approach and an interesting character so bad it. needs to be something also you know also i'm attracted by the sight college team out of many of the roles i'm doing this is gives me a platform to perform and to be completely there with all my being. which you always are as the critics say no. stop writing now you're best known for your patrol of bags heroine lulu you literally owned that role for 18 years 10 different productions of it and you famously broke your nose one time in that bavarian. state opera performance and yet you sang on tell us about how that was actually the prime year of this and i just missed the exit of a glass wall because the lights were coming strange and i go full speed into the

glass and you know it's this millisecond of it you are gone and you come back and you just head into the right exits and i saw just waiting for me with a stick and i just you know the adrenaline is so high that you just sing on and then you were you have a checking in and yeah belief leading on the right. but you check in a millisecond if you kids can still stand if you see the. if you're still in balance if you see the conductor and everything was ok so when they brought some tissues on the i just you know it just went on leave one retired from that role that was a bit of a sign that it was maybe time to do something else that was in 2015 how difficult was it to hang up a role that you've had for 18 years and as you know still show up in your day to day yeah it was not easy because it was so deeply rooted in me this rule when you do it for such a long time but you know after all these years there's also

a shadow that is left on my soul and also concerning the the role as being a woman so i decided to to let her go and to open a space for another malise you know of for the real one because it's you know it's leaves an imprint on you and it was time to time to go to the next chapter not really it was not easy because it's so you know it's like you wrote it through to its roots in very deep into that persona now speaking of next chapters your new album is relatively recently released the 3rd in your dimensions trilogy with romantic songs about the physical world and then of course the other world as you call it and now in iraq do you have a quick listen to. i

believe in you version now. in your ancient and you're essentially on this record looking at the relationship that we as humans have with what did you learn in this journey you know i think it's 6 6 treasure. and it has everything. that concerns us as a human being from the deep sorrow over the joy there contemplation of nature everything is there and i want to you know not to present another into something that we have already seen and so many times i wanted to connect to us as a human being and lead has everything and i want to make this connection also to look at us human beings in the here and now and also in the other side on the other side and into us it's very internal it's very different from what you're doing on the opera stage yes you know it's the opera insights that's what i say sometimes

lead is what what what you have inside and you have to bring it out from your soul to the audience and it's it's for me it's the seed of music. if you watch it the voice if you look at the voice it's the seat of everything and it's our shot we are speaking we are speaking and singing so it comes from deep inside of us it's not an instrument that's out sight so it was great to look outside and inside with this trilogy i invented your artist in residence for the coming season with the berlin philharmonic that's a wonderful position at the request of curia protect potential. conductor what's it like to work with him i mean it's this guy is unique he is such he's he's 100 percent music and he's a modest person and he's just there for for the music and and for everyone who

makes this music so at the same time he's with the orchestra with the singers with the music and he has the ability to combine these from the greatest pianists similar to the biggest 40 symbol and there is a language between us that doesn't need words that's absolutely beautifully an incredible dynamic that he manages to build with with orchestra well. it doesn't thank you so much for delving into the human experience for us on stage on this record it's a real pleasure to listen to it and wish of course all the best for your next performance at the very end state opera in december. thank you very much for being here. i get another part of the human experience is the baking and breaking of bread which is of course the staple food in most of europe albeit in many different forms and so my colleague has endeavored to take us around the loaf by loaf and this time we've arrived in croatia the latest member to join the e.u.
