2:32 pm
if the 1st team needs a fresh shirt, it's 36 degrees celsius outside. oh, oh, they say opera was invented here. is that funny combination of theater and music? music. you know, this is the done and said he barks and that's the real citibank's. they all received their own seats for performance. it was awful. awful good buddy. probably the most sought after tenor in the world today. and you've come down from these mount a limp as of singing to talk to us here in naples, in the beautiful tetro sun carlo. maybe mount a limp is a bit of a cliche. do you feel at home here? since if so, how was it?
2:33 pm
and what matters in your career is how long you stay at the top. if that's not whether you get there sooner or later, the quicker your ascent, the faster your descent and the as solid, your footing and foundation for less experience. you collect on the way 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 not narrow and see how strong the headwinds are out there. and let's hear it all that really helps make you feel at home up there and build a house for all of the 2 for you, dean, at the pinnacle for quite some time on these lonely heights. how does it feel? is it a permanent place? yeah. groups illicit has its downsides for sure, because you also have to deliver. it's not like you can rest on your laurels and get whatever you will do will sell,

2:35 pm
make the audience think. and even you of the singer think it's all happening without any effort at all. but the moment you stop for a breeder's of regularize, just how much it takes out of you, a worn out you are through to. and that's when you notice how strenuous it really helps you feel i'm staying in 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 on top this. but there are worse things on your not even a yawn as caliph man didn't 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 hey, i can do something with this. i would come on by someone and that's the set off. i know it's like entering into an arranged marriage and it's an instrument that i
2:36 pm
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, his name. yes. 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 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, music and technique and so on. he wasn't an extraordinarily diligent or industrious
2:37 pm
student. in other words, his 1st engagements were in saprykin, stuttgart, and heidelberg, early on health money in body, operatic hero, and was also idolized in real life. he's in citizenry corporate 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 really with lohengrin am was and to salzburg of course with the daily. oh you want to come from monk took on the great tenor roles and was internationally celebrated.
2:38 pm
beefeater is incredibly versatile in terms of his repertoire. few singers are as adept in german, french and italian reppert. whether it's opera or leader, he's just as versatile stylistically confident and musically vivacious. in everything he does who else is good to finish? school games are common of us 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
2:39 pm
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. it's early evening in nakedness. final preparations for the opening, a concert are underway. naples music lovers gather on the square near the tay actress sun. carla yunus. counts money's backstage, having a last chat with friends and colleagues before the performance. it's one of the signature roles. the egyptian commander rather miss from leading her.
2:40 pm
thank you. thank you, but what a performance, how was it for? you cannot sit here really hot. it was so hot performing a homicide. 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 operative the same time. you know, meet people. i still feel swept away due to you in new york or you just lost your lover. you died yourself because 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 emotionally
2:41 pm
. but all of you, the moment it's over, it's over and it was 5 years. 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 on? why did you worry that you'd have to stop that your voice would never come back to me and hear me. this is me. i'm for. it's never easy to overcome a vocal crisis or vocal difficulties and skase it, 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 perform with easy ocean view, they want
2:42 pm
a militia and this is very unpleasant. but because you want to saying 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. if you do it, he will have your voice back just as before, coming on how to say instrument or to follow that as the old 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 it took 2 or 3 performances before i had my confidence back down. thank goodness knock on wood or as the italians say, talk of pharaoh. it's working just fine again from today it's who i might try. i really try time. i
2:43 pm
don't know your turn to avoid dish was told us, wish us here was what 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 if this course of comedy. my wouldn't say that i love drama. it's been your month. 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. another able to switch between my professional and private life very easily, and soon as a performance is over,
2:44 pm
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 these, keep it in this is also hell, his friend and former teacher. helmut do it seems it is a pianist and professor who's known caliph month fullest 30 years as if 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.
2:45 pm
temptation might come along the way. that's crucial if you want a career like his or good at it, opera is considered elitist aloof. 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, you think of us 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, 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. was the music has an emotional impact or, and that's something really fascinating and it wasn't moving, you know,
2:46 pm
it was there 1st scene and isn't this what i'm specially in today's society, which is rather cold, focused on achievement, but in profit and very banal, forms of recreation if you even want to call it that i defend opera because like so many others under fire before i've been fired up by a passion and a fascination for the purity of this argument. so yeah, sure. i love but 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 theme little dramas along the way, like in midland at les kala, the way you sang nessun dorma. and somehow it didn't go to plan this gunther clapped out. was
2:47 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. well not but in touch and texts indicate i could feel
2:48 pm
i was. 7 i thought, i think, i mean 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 noir belva. it's been gorgeous and if it sickens, if you like, song, and more than 40 do friend operas all together. at the moment, there are about 15 to 20 in my repertoire. coleman's inspiration, of course, if you're always doing the same thing, this with the same colleagues under the same circumstances, it can become rather routine and 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
2:49 pm
the 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 part of who he is. that enormous temperament was
2:50 pm
was the happens even if you experienced the coronavirus this time of enforced silence. it's been a tradition that you visions it of course i was in a very fortunate situation. i don't always have a house, but when i live there with my family, we have a big garden. so having to stay at home really felt like a holiday through the 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
2:51 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. want to and there's still suffering its impact by that they want to live. they are going to hit disproportionately hard in this entire situation. we found ourselves in these incomes and money and hellmuth deutch and in 1st break, during the pandemic provided time to finally do some recording or our lease is the 1st album, 90 down. but however enjoyable a project shared between 2 old friends, a studio recording can't replace a live performance there 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 corona virus outbreak. verdi

composers overlooked under so much music about the city, but these are still has its positive and its negative sides. so much as we laugh and joke about it. we're sarcastic about it, but in the end, it's clear that everyone loves this city, and many have paid tribute to it already in so many different arias and melodies. so i picked a few of them. the happy shiny kind also i could offer was i was i was a low i was
2:54 pm
let's go up to the pinnacle of one more time in the same goblin, nor 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, if 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 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 then i might end
2:55 pm
up doing something else for a few years intentionally i will quit because i can't imagine being on stage until i'm 90 and it's inevitable at some point, if i'm 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 one kind. i don't want that to be said of me and thus much to me, i can thanks very much. if they had, you're very welcome. i'm your money. yeah. yeah. yeah. graeme week. oh, now it's finally time for an italian, dina. as the sun goes down over naples, you gold in
