thing and as an apo and as for i'm sorry i didn't catch it, especially in today's society, which is rather cold. my storm on focus on achievement and profit. profit, oscar leaked is the and very banal, forms of recreation. he likes to art, if you even want to call it that gifts title, demons of op, knows all men, and can i defend oper because like so many others are under before yoga i've been fired up by a passion and a fascination for the beauty of this are you not so it is a yeah he sure and height for fontes are const i love it so much that i can't imagine a world without it and evade on as he to can is i can vision my has a clara theme little drama along the way by that of like in me land at lascola the way you sang ness and gorman hob, and somehow it didn't go plans. disc ganske accepted. ah

it is wanted if you would have money. well, we're all only human and not machines you hadn't missed one be behind. oh for myself that i can't always see that everywhere be at the very top of my game goes quizzically 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 that you feel barzyk and suddenly i realize the wrong words are coming out of my mouth or not. my infection fixed in decade ah

ah. 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 my, 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 to, or maybe it really does feel that way. it's casanova. it's been gorgeous and it fits against my son and more than 40 different opera is altogether. i met the moment there about 15 to 20 in my repertoire, coleman's institutions vincent's in on spanish. of course, if you're always doing the same thing with the same colleagues under the same circumstances, it can become rather routine up and the experience of everything be new and exciting and turn into the nightmare of everything being always the same lies. i'm very lucky because i do get to enjoy a lot of variety and when i say the

me ah, i don't eunice calcium to be quieter and out going for example, is rehearsal isn't going the way he one side. but this is the same man who can perform the final scene of common. is it made in a way where you think and all he has to do is perform. he doesn't even have to thing and it would still be wonderful. i think both think, i mean, that's the heart of who he is toward that enormous temperament. the in the sixty's is own guardian, the

with the, the, with the syrians, the corona virus. these ton of silence. if you've been to listen to conclusions, of course, i was in a very fortunate situation and i was, i have a house in the middle when i lived there with my family, we have a big garden. so does align tron does. so having to stay at home really felt like a holiday hanford, i shopped a sigh and i am also doubly fortunate in that i've had another baby mcmullin, a baby with my 2nd wife, him to become mama, which is a wonderful addition to our family. loved us, i english. so this time of turning my focus inward, this and it for his contemplation ape see this because they also had

a very positive side for nathan in for she. but many of my colleagues in different fields have been hit very hard by this forest downtime ozzy at song and there's still suffering its impact on tino via that. the want ally, the article can hit disproportionately hard on this entire situation. we found ourselves in these counseling comstock for eunice kaufman and helmet deutsch and enforced break during the pandemic provided time to finally do some recording o z, like a shonda or our of bliss is the 1st album ne majoring looked down. but however enjoyable a project share between 2 old friends, a studio recording can't replace alive performance oh, the return to the stage finally came in vienna in the full, despite rising infection rates and the city having been declared a risk area. unit kaufman held his 1st opera appearance since the corona virus

outbreak. there. these don carlos at the vienna state opera. i her. oh i ah, oh eunice councilman has a special relationship with the austrian capital, and he's just recorded an album in vienna. venus understood the busy at the end of the city, i've grown to life of it. there's no other place in the world where more composers

of left. and there's so much music about the city, but these are stuff that has, it's positive and it's negative sides of much of a laugh and joke about it. we're sarcastic about it, but in the end it's clear that everyone loves this city. i live and many have paid tribute to it in so many different areas and melodies on. so i picked a few of them with the hobbies any kind of also, i guess often. oh. 2 ah ah ah ah ah. c

gone from, let's go up to the pinnacle one more time in zang i will ignore loomed this amount to little bits of operating tennis. how long do you hope to stay up? they are going, hey, yet, if i have a viscous state does, if i've come to realize how much i enjoy just living, my life on earth get added, which the sites and during this time under the corona virus, good back to me. i've also seen how many lovely things there, or you can spend your time doing. it's outside on function. so perhaps i will end up performing let you see it in. it was meaning, but i'm far from saying good. i'm going to stop altogether. this is alicia knock bite tough on 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 took over the next 10 years at least. i imagine i'll continue along the same course in each of them fall vasa on ton gibbs and then i might end up doing

something else for a few years and i could potentially, i will quit on tallies optional. so because i can't imagine being on stage until i'm 90, bit annoyed fish, it's inevitable at some point. even contact continuing on would only serve to one, do everything you've accomplished over the as i start fresh butte and would also be sad because you'd show that you didn't know any other kind of life, but the stage is yet, does one can i don't want that to be said of making on turn to switch to communication knox. our lesson eunice calcium, thanks very much. which way you're very welcome. i am on one. yeah. i ah oh, yeah. now it's finally time for an italian dinner. as the sun goes down. oh, the naples. oh,
