people live to the catastrophe remember klemp and they share private footage with us that has never been seen before. play. it back to channel it starts april 26th on d w. bad . players. play. live.

i think this christmas it's because this profession gives you such tremendous feelings of happiness it carries you from one wave of energy to the next. oh. yeah. seen some of 2020 looked old chevy to carefree idleness and almost completely mask less 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 one some. say the best we meeting at the opera house here in

naples. a former colleague says. the 1st team needs a fresh shirt it's 36 degrees celsius outside. oh. humans acted they say opera was invented here is that funny combination of theatre and music how to make music. of an oil well yeah this is this is the done and said he barks and that's the real citibank's they all receive their own seats for performances but they do that by. boris was very much the same the murder. was the same big bloody ordeal 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 tetris on carlo maybe mount a limp this is a bit of a cliche do you feel at home here since it evoked it so how is it this in try 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 you are sent 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 out there and thus i let him know 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 place. yeah the illicit 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 i had all felt as if that's not how it works. but that's all peanuts compared to the opportunities you have peanuts in kings that's. in the mouth. i. think he's singing for you know like joel hard work event and good if i were to say

that everything's so effortless you hardly even notice it and i'd be lying if. i was still a joy that this music imparts has the tendency to make the audience think and even you of the singer think that it's all happening without any effort at all. yet but the moment you stop for a breathers of off realize just how much it takes out of you a worn out you are. true to 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 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 hate i can do something with this i mean come on boss man this is 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. 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 . i think a student. his 1st engagements were in saprykin stuttgart and heidelberg early on health money embodied the operatic hero and was also idolized in real life. 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 really with lohengrin. am. was. and to salzburg of course with the daily oh

you want to come from and talk on the great tenor roles and was internationally celebrated. faeces incredibly versatile in terms of his repertoire. a few singers are as adept in german french and italian repartee. and 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 intercom and 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 that we breathe without giving it any thought and singing as to become equally automatic this is 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 all of that at the end. it's early evening. final preparations for the opening a concept are underway naples music lovers gather on the square near the tay actress son carl. eunice counts monies backstage having a last chat with friends and colleagues before the performance. it's one of his signature roles the egyptian commander rather miss from aida.

the move. comes. thank. you but what a performance how was it for you cannot sit here. really hot it was so hot performing to 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 like a visit to the sauna in the operate the same time haha you know me you know 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 emotionally but of you the moment it's over it's over it was 5 years but by just one more. about what happens if singing is no longer possible ready experienced a situation where you had to take a break or several months because your voice needed a rest and how did you deal with that why did you worry that you 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 unscathed is it 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 ocean view they. want a militia. 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 if you do it he will have your voice back just as before coming on how to save installment order for that. as the old eunice caliph 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. it took 2 or 3 performances before i had my confidence only count down thank goodness knock on wood or as the italian say talk of pharaoh it's working just fine again. i leave.

my time. on your door trying to. avoid dish was told us wish. i was here. was good enough. for us was there i was. on 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 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. i'm able to switch between my professional and private life very easily and. soon as 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 these keep to deny. this is also hell 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 have 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

see hear me 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 plummet catastrophe the pandemic and war why do we need opera. you know i think of you 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 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 with the music has an emotional impact or and that's

something really fascinating and more than moving it was their 1st scene and isn't this what i'm. going to specially in today's society which is rather call life 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. i lie. 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 midland at les gallo the way you sang nessun dorma and somehow it didn't go to plan this gunther clapped out.

was me. was i as is constantly so what does well we're all only human and not machines 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 realise the wrong words are coming out of my mouth but in touch and texts indicate that. i

feel. i. was 7 i was 7 i. thought i would feel. them in 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 has come from oil vale it's been gorgeous and if it sickens if you like song and more than 42. 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 things 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 and when i say. it. was. nice 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.

was. the albums in his account you experience the coronavirus this time of enforced silence. it's been a tradition that your visions 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. 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. 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 lie they are going to hit disproportionately hard in this entire situation we found ourselves in these and. so you'll know skulls 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 no names are 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. was. a. man has a special relationship with the austrian capital and he's just recorded an album in

vienna this t.v. set just as you can see as 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 just it 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 would be in so many different areas and melodies so i picked a few of them to have any kind also i could offer was. i. was. i was a low. i

was c. let's go up to the pinnacle one more time in the saying i will ignore the. 10 is 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. 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 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. thanks very much they have you're very welcome. i'm your man yeah. yeah. yeah. very. cold. now it's finally time for an italian dinner as the sun
