i guess for the agents, i registered it, i hate tokens, nights for the more it starts to simmer down on t.w. . pick up the tab. i think this is this because this profession gives you such tremendous feelings of happiness. it carries you from one wave of energy to the next.

oh, we're told that naples in summer 2020 looked old, shifty to carefree idleness and almost completely mask after a devastating spring, coronavirus infections have decreased significantly. the tele, into getting out and about again. i'm on my way to meet your last come from one of the best tennis in the world. some say the best we meeting at the opera house here in one of the following. this is the

1st, he needs a fresh shirt. it's 36 degrees celsius. outside activity they say opera was invented here. is that funny combination of theatre and music? music? yeah, yeah, this is, this is the done and said he barks and that's the real cd box. they all received their own seats for performances, but they bought the board. it was similar to murder her for us. big daddy, probably the most sought after tenor in the world today. and you've come down from these mount olympus of singing, to talk to us here in naples, in the beautiful tetro, sun carlo, maybe mount a limp. this is a bit of a cliche. do you feel at home here since it evoked it?

so how was it this in trident? and what matters in your career is how long you stay at the top. if that's what you know, whether you get there sooner or later, the quicker you are sent, the faster your descent and that was 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 their climb more slowly, you get to sniff that mountain air and see how strong the headwinds are out there. on the list here. 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 get whatever you will do will sell,

so to speak. people will just buy it all felt as if that's not how it works. that's great news, but that's all peanuts compared to the opportunities you have peanuts. that's in the mouth. i think he's singing for you know like joel hard work event to help. and if i were to say that everything's so effortless, you hardly even notice it. i'd be lying. if i was to be a joy to disabuse it,

compart says the tendency to make the audience think they can and even you are the singer think it's all happening without any effort at all yet. but the moment you stop for a breeder's of off, you realize just how much it takes out of you. a worn out you are true. that's when you notice how strenuous it really else. i'm staying at this i can still face. but 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 and you were 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 that the hate i can do something with this. i would come on by someone that's the set off. i know it's like entering into an

arranged marriage and it's an 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 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 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. 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

student. in other words, his 1st engagements were in sabra can shoot, got and heidelberg, early on health money in body operatic hero and was also idolized in real life. he's even citizenry. corporate house from 2001 to 2009, formative his work began to take him around the world. midland, new york, london, and to the big festivals, including the iconic, by roy it with lohengrin, am, was and to salzburg of course, with the daily oh, universe come from monk, so called the great tenor roles and was internationally celebrated.

the feature is incredibly versatile in terms of his repertoire, skipped a few singers are as adept in german, french, and italian 3, whether it's opera or leader. he's just as versatile stylistically confident and musically vivacious. in everything he does who wants to finish the game? so common of us vietnam, 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 that we breathe without giving it any thought and singing as to become equally automatic. this was

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 road. early evening in naples, final preparations for the opening, a concert 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 the signature roles. gyptian commander rather miss from aida. her the move

comes. thank you, but what a performance, how was it for you cannot sit here really hot. it was so hot 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 operate, the 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. 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

. but view the moment it's over, it's over, it was 5 years. probably. 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? and what 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 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. of you want and wish to again. and this is

very unpleasant, but because you want to sing out this closet practically promised your fans, you would mind my love performing. i love being in front of an audience. i'm on 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 save instrumental. wonderful. so 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 it took 2 or 3 performances before i had my confidence only go down. thank goodness, knock on wood or as the italians say, talk of pharaoh. it's working just fine again for today. it's not what i really

want to try to avoid. dish was, it was wish us here was take what was was for us was there was opera 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 of the comedy and 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 another i able to switch between my professional and private life very easily enough. soon as

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 skip. this is also how his friend and former teacher, helmut do each sees it is a pianist and professor who's known caliph month fullest 30 years. 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.

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? 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. and allows you to dream yourself into a whole nother world with the music has an emotional impact. and that's something really fascinating and it wasn't moving, you know,

it was the 1st scene 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 not so sure of it so much that i can't imagine a world without end of it, or does he? it's ok so i can see how i might have a class. there are things a little dramas along the way, like in midland at les kala, the way you saying nessun dorma and somehow it didn't go to plan. gunther clapped out was

was i as a quantity? so what does my, well, we're all only human and not machines cotton. 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 touch and text indicating i feel

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 noir veil. it's been gotten in fits of guns if you like, song in more than 40 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 things with the same colleagues, under the same circumstances, it can become rather routine after 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 say was

my time was listening to your own younus 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 part of who he is. that enormous temperament

was really happens even if you experience the coronavirus this time of enforced silence . it's been a tradition that usually 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. i'm trying. so having to stay at home really felt like a holiday. just 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 also at

a very positive side for me. but many of my colleagues in different fields have been hit very hard by this forced down time. it's 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 incomes and can still count money and help with deutch. and in 1st break, during the pandemic provided time to finally do some recording or our lease is the 1st album, 9 members are in lockdown. 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

stone, carlos at the vienna state opera, was a man has a special relationship with the austrian capital. and he's just recorded an album in vienna. this piece i just don't think is here and he enters a city. i've grown to live, there's no other place in the world where more composers are left. and there's 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 the city i live and many have paid tribute to it would be in so many different areas and melodies. so i picked a few of them, the hypothetical. and also i could offer was i was god. i was a low was i was. c

let's go up to the pinnacle of one more time and 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, i've also seen how many lovely things there and you can spend your time doing. so perhaps i will end up performing less each season. 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

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 continuing on would only serve to undo everything you've accomplished over the us. i start fresh beauty and would 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 on your own thanks very much. they have you're very welcome. i'm your money. yeah. yeah, yeah. yeah. ok. oh, now it's finally time for an italian dino. as the sun goes down over naples,

you hear gold, a bit of light heartedness in turbulent times. you could say, oh oh, oh oh . good
