the 1st beethoven is from her plato is for the beethoven is for costs. is for claimed beethoven 2020, the 250th anniversary. here on take a look at the tag m m m i l. i think this

is, it's because this profession gives you such tremendous feelings of happiness. it carries you from one wave energy to the next week. oh, we're told that it naples in summer 2020, left old chevy to carefree idleness. almost completely mask. after a devastating spring, coronavirus infections have decreased significantly. the tally into getting out and about again. i'm on my way to meet your nice comfy, one of the best tennis in the world. some say the best we meeting at the opera

house here in maple. oh, absolutely. see it. 1st he 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 and it was leaked? yeah, this is the done and said he barks and that's the real citibank's. they all received their own seats for performances, but they bought boarders australia, big daddy, probably the most sought after tenor in the world today. and you've come down from these mountain limpets 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? so how was it? 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 their climb more slowly, you get to sniff that mountain air and see how strong the headwinds are out there. in all that really helps make you feel at home up there. you don't build a house for the whole of the 2 for you dean, at the pinnacle for quite some time on these lonely heights. how does it feel? is it permanent? lease yagi elicit has its downsides for sure,

because you also have to deliver it's not like you can rest on your laurels and that whatever you will do will sell, so to speak. the people will just what i had all thought as if that's not how it works. but that's all peanuts compared to the opportunities you have peanuts and that's in the mouth. think i

think he's singing for you know like joel hyatt look at event. if i were to say that everything's so effortless, you hardly even notice it, and i'd be lying. if i was still enjoyed it, this music in part has the tendency to make the audience think. 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 through. that's when you notice how strenuous it really yes, i'm staying at this. i can still face. 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 and you're not even a young 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 mean, come on, boss, man. that's he said, 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 most. 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. coffman 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 of 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 saprykin, stuttgart and heidelberg, early on health money embodied operatic hero, and was also idolized in real life. at the 0 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 with lohengrin, am,

was and to salzburg, of course, with fidelio yunus come from munto called the great tenor roles and was internationally celebrated faeces, incredibly versatile in terms of his repertoire. 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 gets to finish the intercom and verse of you know, 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 in the singing as to become equally automatic. 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 concept are underway. naples music lovers gather on the square near the tail sun . carla yunus counts money as backstage. having the last chat with friends and colleagues before the performance. it's one of his signature roles. the egyptian commander rather miss from aida.

her comes. thank you, but what a performance, how was it for you cannot sit here really hot. 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, you know, i'm like a visit to the sauna in the opera 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. but of you 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 and several months because your voice needed a rest. and 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 lot of it, 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 issue of you want a militia and this is very unpleasant. but because you want to saying this, cause you practically promised your friends. 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, you'll have your voice back just as before, coming on how to save installment order for that as the old eunice money again on stage after the vocal crisis in august. i 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 down. thank goodness for knock on wood or as the italians say, talk of pharaoh. it's working just fine again. i don't know who

on your door trying to avoid dish was told us. wish i was here because you were just was a 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 of the comedy, and i wouldn't say that i love drama. he's been here a 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 or another us 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 skipped this is also hell, his friend and former teacher. helmut do it seems it is a pianist and professor who's known kaufman fullest 30 s. as of the 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, like

a neat thing 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 or good at it. opera is considered elitist. some say, why put so much into opera when we have a climate catastrophe in the pandemic and wars? 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. that is elitist, it does cost a lot of money. it's not a form of art. it's created. one segment is available forever. 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 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. if 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 see how i might have a class. there are things a little dramas along the way, like in midland, at les scala, the way you sang nessun dorma and somehow it didn't go to plan a clapped out. there was

i said the so what does? well, we're all only human and not machines to behold. 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 told not, not in touch and texts indicate that i

feel i. 7 7 was. 7 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 and acting as though it's all new? well, maybe it really does feel that way. it's 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 in 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 last time i was 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 part of who he is. that enormous temperament. he was

was the albums and his account. you experience the coronavirus these ton 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. 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 forces contemplation also at a very positive sign 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 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 stalk us count money and helmet deutch. and in 1st break, during the pandemic provided time to finally do some recording or our lease is the 1st album not major in lockdown. but however enjoyable a project shared between 2 old friends, a studio recording contre place 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 coronavirus outbreak. very nice . don't colace at the vienna state opera. man has a special relationship with the austrian capital and he's just recorded an album in

vienna. this t.v. set just at the museum. he enters a city, i've grown to live. there's no other place in the world where more composers overlooked. and there's so much music about the city, but these are stuff that 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 in and many have paid tribute to it already in so many different areas and melodies. so i picked a few of them. the hobbit any kind also i could offer was i was god i was

i was. c let's go up to the pinnacle one more time and in the saying, i will ignore the pits of operatic tennis. how long do you hope to stay up there in the hay yet has 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 less each 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 then i might end up doing something else for a few years. eventually i will quit because i can't imagine being on stage until i'm 90 and it's inevitable at some point, if they're 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 your mum, thanks very much. they had your very welcome. i'm your man. yeah. yeah . yeah. yeah.

i was now it's finally time for an italian dinner. as the sun goes down over naples. you told a bit of lightheartedness in turbulent times. you could say, oh oh. oh.
