9:33 pm
and what matters in your career is how long you stay at the top. if that's not what you get there, sooner or later. the quicker you are sent to the faster your descent and the less solid your footing and foundation. for less experience you collect on the way or the more slowly you rise to the top. the more you know how to appreciate what you find there. if you make that climb more slowly or you get to sniff that mountain there and see how strong the headwinds are out there, and let him know all of that really helps make you feel at home up there and build a house for all the 2 for the bottom line at the pinnacle for quite some time on these lonely heights. how does it feel? is it a permanent lease? yeah. groups the list, it has its downsides for sure. because you also have to deliver this. it's not like you can rest on your laurels and get whatever you will do will sell,

a joy to this music in parts has the tendency to make the audience think, you know, even you, of the singer think that it's all happening without any effort at all when they see it. but the moment you stop for a breeder's of off, liberalize just how much it takes out of you. a worn out you are months and that's when you notice how strenuous it really else. i'm staying at this. i can't stop. but because this profession gives you such tremendous feelings of happiness because it carries you from one wave of energy to the next and you get to feeling everything just happens effortlessly on top this case. but there are worse things and you're not even a young as caliph munden come into the world, a fully fledged tenor. how did you build that relationship with your voice? when did you find your voice and think the hate? i can do something with this. i mean, come on, boss, man, that's the set off. i know it's like entering into an arranged marriage and it's an
9:36 pm
instrument that i can't leave it on. no matter where i go day or night, you know, bed. whenever i always have it with me and i have to take it into consideration to some extent it's name. but it's very important to still live your life to take joy in daily life. even though you're always carrying your voice with you so to speak. otherwise, you can't play the characters on stage that you want to because you don't know yourself what life is about sleeping highs. your nurse kathman grew up in a pretty regular family. his father worked for an insurance company. his mother was a kindergarten teacher. they weren't musicians, but they did love music. coffman became interested in singing at an early age and later studied in munich. and global korea wasn't really on the cards. as a student, he was a happy go lucky guy. he had a 1000 different interests, sports and cooking, and of course,
9:37 pm
music and technique and so on. he wasn't an extraordinarily diligent or industrious student. in other words, his 1st engagements were in saprykin, stuttgart and heidelberg, early on health money embodied the operatic hero, and was also idolized in real life. he's eans at the zurich opera house from 2001 to 2009, formative his work began to take him around the world. melana, new york, london, and to the big festivals, including the iconic, by really with lohengrin am was and to salzburg of course, with the daily oh, you want to come from and took on the great tenor roles and was internationally
9:38 pm
celebrated. feat is incredibly versatile in terms of his repertoire. few singers are as adept in german, french and italian repartee, whether it's opera or leader, he's just as versatile stylistically confident and musically vivacious. in everything he does. who else has kept to finish school games are common to both of you and there's so many levels to pass through to arrive at what we call singing and at the end of the day. and that's the essence of it. singing has to become 2nd nature. it has to be one of those things we do without giving it a 2nd thought face. we speak without thinking about it. we breathe without giving it any thought of singing as to become equally automatic. also. and when it does,
9:39 pm
you have the freedom to go on stage and without thinking about technique, you just interpret and inhabit the role of the early evening in nakedness. final preparations for the opening a concept are underway. naples music lovers gather on the square near the tay actress sun, carla. eunice counts monies backstage, having the last chat with friends and colleagues before the performance. it's one of his signature roles. gyptian commander rather miss from aida. her
9:40 pm
comes about what a performance. how was it for you this here really highlight? it was so hard performing, i would be honest, i just, i guess we got into it and at the end we just drank and sweat and drank and sweat. it was pretty, i mean, like a visit to the sauna in the opera the same time, you know, meet people. i still feel swept away. you too, in new york or you just lost your lover. you died yourself to work all week next week. another will come along, it's like, oh no, that's just the way it is. i'm incredibly into it incredibly involved emotionally.
9:41 pm
but view the moment it's over, it's over and it was 5 years. just one more about what happens if singing is no longer possible. ready experienced a situation where you had to take a break for several months because your voice needed a rest. how did you deal with that on? why did you worry that you'd have to stop that your voice would never come back to me and hearing. this is me, i'm for it's never easy to overcome a vocal crisis or vocal difficulties unscathed, especially unscathed, at the psychological of that. because you're so deeply connected to your voice. and because you need a huge amount of confidence to be able to draw on your voice in front of thousands of spectators in tight, in the moment you lose trust in your voice. when it becomes very difficult to stay relaxed and you perform with ease, the issue of you want
9:42 pm
a enlists and this is very unpleasant, but because you want to sing out this closet practically promised your fans, you would mind my love performing love being in front of an audience or that makes it all the more frustrating when you have to wait. but you also know that if you're patient sooner or later, you will be able to perform again and it would, you'll have your voice back just as before, coming on how to say instrumental. wonderful. so that as the old eunice money again, on stage, after the vocal crisis, looking out as i remember that i sang that 1st performance as i always say with the handbrake on. that's how it took $2.00 or 3 performances before i had my confidence down. thank goodness, knock on wood or as the italians say, talk of pharaoh. it's working just fine again. i only take time
9:43 pm
on your turn to avoid dish was was when he was here was taking me for what was was god was for us was there was oprah is often such great drama. and you also a kind of drama queen in your personal life and i've been leaving calvinist as is this course of the comedy. i wouldn't say that i love drama. it's been human to ghana. i like to have time for myself. and often i find myself running late because i still had something to do here or there somewhere or another. i'm able to switch between my professional and private life very easily enough. soon as
9:44 pm
a performance is over, i feel totally free. and that helps me come down from the high born of all this and say that of all the opera singers. i'm one of the less complicated once i did open sing on the skipped this is also hell, his friend and former teacher. helmut do each sees it is a pianist and professor who's known caliph months alone was 30. i've often admired him. he has incredible discipline. he's invited by friends who've bought a really rare and excellent wine just for him. he'll apologize and say that he can't drink because he's singing the next day and he really won't be someone who, when he has a certain job to do it will stick by the rules he set for himself no matter what.
9:45 pm
temptation might come along the way. that's crucial if you want a career like his good is considered elitist. some say, why put so much into opera when we have a climate catastrophe in the pandemic and war? why do we need opera? you know, i think of fish to go well, i wouldn't say that it's more important than putting bread on the table. it is elitist, it does cost a lot of money. it's not a form of art. it's created. one segment is available forever and you know, like the visual arts at the same time, it's such a fascinating art form. otherwise, it wouldn't have lasted over the centuries. it allows you to dream yourself into a whole nother world. was the music has an emotional impact already, and that's something really fascinating and more than moving it was the 1st scene.
9:46 pm
and it's a specially in today's society which is rather call focused on achievement in profit and very banal forms of recreation. if you even want to call it that i defend opera because like so many others. i've been fired up by a passion and a fascination for the beauty of this. are you sure? i love. it's so much that i can't imagine a world without that kind of aid or does he, it's ok. so i can see how i might have a class. there are things little dramas along the way. i don't like in midland at, lest the way you sang nessun dorma and somehow it didn't go to plan. a clapped out was me.
9:47 pm
was i as is one city so what does? well, we're all only human and not machines. common if one day about how i know for myself that i can't always everywhere be at the very top of my game, both physically and mentally. or even when i am completely focused, i can get mixed up or be distracted for a couple of seconds. but have something else on my mind and suddenly i realize the wrong words are coming out of my mouth. but in trying to text indicated i feel
9:48 pm
i. 7 was. 7 i thought i could hear my thoughts. sometimes i ask myself how you do it, doesn't it get boring at some point to perform the same roles at the same place is acting as though it's all new. well, maybe it really does feel that way. noisy, ever been gorgeous, and if it seconds, if you like, song, and more than 42 opera's altogether. at the moment, there are about 15 to 20 in my repertoire. coleman's inspiration, of course, if you're always doing the same things with the same colleagues under the same circumstances, you can become rather routine of the experience of everything being new and exciting can turn into the nightmare of everything being always the same. but i'm very lucky because i do get to enjoy a lot of variety in what i said was
9:49 pm
when i was listening to your own younus kalf meant to be quieter and outgoing. for example, if the rehearsal isn't going the way he wants, but this is the same man who can perform the final scene of common in a way where you think all he has to do is perform. he doesn't even have to sing and it would still be wonderful. but i think that's the part of who he is. that enormous temperament was
9:50 pm
was the albums in his account. you experience the coronavirus this time of in full silence. it's been a tradition that your vision is it? of course i was in a very fortunate situation. i don't always have a house when i live there with my family. we have a big garden. so having to stay at home really felt like a holiday fruit shop. that's right. and i'm also doubly fortunate in that i've had another baby my baby with my 2nd wife, which is a wonderful addition to our family. so this time of turning my focus inward this and it forced contemplation because it also had
9:51 pm
a very positive side for me. but many of my colleagues in different fields have been hit very hard by this forced down time. i want to and there's still suffering its impact on the want to lie. they are going to hit disproportionately hard in this entire situation. we found ourselves in these income so you'll know skulls, money, and helmet, deutch, and in 1st broke. during the pandemic provided time to finally do some recording or our lease is the 1st album night down. but however enjoyable a project shared between 2 old friends, a studio recording can't replace a live performance. and slowly, the return to the stage finally came in vienna in the full, despite rising infection rates in the city, having been declared a risk area and held his 1st opera appearance since the corona virus outbreak. very

9:54 pm
let's go out to the pinnacle of one more time in the saying, i'll ignore the pits of operatic tennis. how long do you hope to stay up there in the hay yet? i've come to realize how much i enjoy just living my life. and during this time, under the coronavirus act, i've also seen how many lovely things there you can spend your time doing. so perhaps i will end up performing lesage seasons. it was raining, but i'm far from saying that i'm going to stop all together. white stuff and i do think that there will come a time when i don't leave the stage, but that's a good way in the future when i does it for the next 10 years, at least i imagine i'll continue along the same course. and
9:55 pm
then i might end up doing something else for a few years intentionally i will quit because i can't imagine being on stage until i'm 90 it's inevitable at some point, if continuing on would only serve to undo everything you've accomplished over the us. i start fresh beauty, but also be sad because you'd show that you didn't know any other kind of life but the stage yet that's when i don't want that to be said of me and on your list. health mum, thanks very much. they had your very welcome. i'm your man. yeah. yeah. yeah, yeah. oh . now it's finally time for an italian dinner. as the sun goes down over the naples. you gold. a bit of lightheartedness in
