8:33 am
so how is it with this in trident? and what matters in your career is how long you stay at the top. if that's meant to not, whether you get there sooner or later, the quicker your ascent, just 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, you get to sniff that mountain air and see how strong the headwinds are up there on the list. here's all that really helps make you feel at home up there and build a house for holzer to for you dean, at the pinnacle for quite some time on these lonely heights. how does it feel? is it a permanent lease? yeah, it has its downsides for sure. because you also have to deliver this, it's not like you can rest on your laurels and that whatever you will do will sell,
8:34 am
so to speak. people will just buy it all as if that's not how it works. but then it's all peanuts compared to the opportunities you have peanuts that's in the mouth . i think when he's singing for you know like joel hard work event to help. if i were to say that everything's so effortless, you hardly even notice it and i'd be lying. if i was that you joy,
8:35 am
that this music imparts, has the tendency to make the audience think. and even you, of the singer think it's all happening without any effort at all yet. but the moment you stop for a breather is of you realize just how much it takes out of you. a worn out you are through. that's when you notice how strenuous it really helps you. i'm staying at this. i can do stuff. but that because this profession gives you such tremendous feelings of happiness, it carries you from one wave of energy to the next and you get the feeling. everything just happens effortlessly, but there are worse things and you're not even a young as caliph man didn't come into the world a fully fledged tena. how did you build that relationship with your voice? when did you find your voice and think the hey, i can do something with this. i mean, come on, boss, man. it doesn't set off. it's like entering into an arranged marriage. and it's an
8:36 am
instrument that i can't leave it on. no matter where i go, day or night in my bed, whenever i always have it with me and i have to take it into consideration to some extent his 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 highs. your nurse counts, mom 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. kaufman became interested in singing at an early age and later studied in munich a global career 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,
8:37 am
music and technique and so on. he wasn't an extraordinarily diligent or industrious student. in other words, his 1st engagements were in south african stuttgart and heidelberg, early on health money embodied the operatic hero, and was also idolized in real life. he's even citizenry opera house from 2001 to 2009, formative his work began to take him around the world. melanne, new york, london, and to the big festivals, including the iconic by roy, with lohengrin, am, was, and to salzburg, of course, with fidelio yunus come from and took on the great tenor role and was
8:38 am
internationally celebrated. feature is incredibly versatile in terms of his repertoire. few singers are as adept in german, french and italian reppert 3, whether it's opera or leader. he's just as versatile stylistically confident and musically vivacious. in everything he does who gets to finish school games or common verse? if you're not, 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. the singing has to become 2nd nature and 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 and singing as to become equally automatic. this was
8:39 am
a good also and when it does, you have the freedom to go on stage and without thinking about technique, you just interpret and inhabit the role of the early evening. final preparations for the opening, a concert are underway. naples music lovers gather on the square near the tay actress sun carlo. unesco money's backstage, having a last chat with friends and colleagues before the performance. it's one of his signature roles in gyptian commander rather miss from leading her
8:40 am
comes thank you, but what a performance, how was it for you cannot sit 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'm like a visit to the sauna and the operator same time. ah, you know, meet people. i still feel swept away. you too in new york, or you just lost your lover. you died yourself. you know, my god, what makes the 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
8:41 am
emotionally, but obviously the moment it's over, it's over, it was 5 years. go by. just one more, you know 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? why did you worry that you'd have to stop that your voice would never come back to me and here. this is me, i'm 4 club. it's never easy to overcome a vocal crisis or vocal difficulties unscathed. is it especially unscathed, at the psychological? are 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 the c.e.o. should view, they want
8:42 am
a militia. and this is very unpleasant. but because you want to sing out this closet tactically promised your fans, you would mind my love performing. i 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. if you do it, you'll have your voice back. just as before, coming on, how to save instrumental or to follow that as the old eunice caliph money again on stage after the vocal crisis in all of us. remember that i sang that 1st performance as i always say with the handbrake on. that's how you took 2 or 3 performances before i had my confidence back. then thank goodness knock on wood or as the italians say, talk of pharaoh. it's working just fine again from today. it's rita and i try, i really try time
8:43 am
or try to avoid the slow us wish i was here was enough 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 his discourse that i wouldn't say that i love drama. he'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 us. and it is tabu able to switch between my professional and private life very easily enough. soon as
8:44 am
a performance is over, i feel totally free. and that helps me come down from the high born of also 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 since it is a pianist and professor who's known caliph month as 30 as 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.
8:45 am
temptation might come along the way. that's crucial if you want a career like his career or good at it. opera is considered elitist. some say, why put so much into opera when we have a climate catastrophe? the pandemic and war. why do we need opera? you know, i think a bridge to go over 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. and allows you to dream yourself into a whole nother world. with the music has an emotional impact already and that's something really fascinating and it wasn't moving, you know,
8:46 am
it was the 1st scene in this specially in today's society which is rather cold and focused on achievement in profit and very banal forms of recreation. if you even want to call it that i defend ampara because like so many others. i've been fired up by a passion and a fascination for the beauty of this. are you not so? 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 fish, i might have a class. there are things a little dramas along the way. like in milan at les galaxy, where you saying nessun dorma and somehow it didn't go to plan this gunther clapped out. there was
8:47 am
i as this one city still doesn't. 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 a 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 told not, not in touch and texts indicating i feel
8:48 am
i. 7 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 places acting as though it's all new? well, maybe it really does feel that way. it's been gotten if it's a lifelong and more than $42.00 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, it can become rather routine if 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
8:49 am
last time i was listening to you and i don't yawn as caliph 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 heart of who he is. that enormous temperament
8:50 am
was really happens even if you experience the coronavirus this time of enforced 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. that's right, and i'm also doubly fortunate in that i've had another baby. my baby with my 2nd wife didn't become which is a wonderful addition to our family. so this time of turning my focus inward, this and it forced contemplation also at
8:51 am
a very positive sign for me. but many of my colleagues in different fields have been hit very hard by this forced down time. when again, there is still suffering its impact by that they want to live, they are going to get disproportionately hard in this entire situation. we found ourselves in these incomes and can still cook for you on us counts money and hellmuth deutsch and in 1st break. during the pandemic provided time to finally do some recording or our lease is the 1st album, 90 knocked 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 held his 1st opera appearance since the coronavirus outbreak. very nice

8:54 am
let's go up to the pinnacle one more time in the saying, i will ignore the smell of operatic tennis. how long do you hope to stay up there in the hay yet? i have come to realize how much i enjoy just living my life. and during this time, under the coronavirus act, if i have also seen how many lovely things there and you can spend your time doing unfun con. 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 leave the stage and, 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 then i might end
8:55 am
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 i'm continuing on, it 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 one kind. i don't want that to be said of me on your own. thanks very much. they have you're very welcome. i'm your money. yeah. yeah. very weak. oh. now it's finally time for an italian dinner. as the sun goes down over naples, you hear
