i am. loathe.

hello thank you for joining us today it's a great honor to carry here the pleasure is mine thanks for the invitation mayor start with a personal question straight away it was the last one on my list but once i saw you i decided to start with it ok you look gorgeous i'm sorry for i'm seeing is not fully proper what you're aware you're in the history of both russia and the world culture and yet you make no secret of your age you make no secret of your diets you make no secret of your plastic surgeons why usually women are different. people know my age anyway to plastic surgeon i make no secret of his name because i like him very much he's a handsome man also i hope that looking at me elderly women who get on stage also

consider that they should be looking after themselves decent going on stage. and i do this with the sake of the stage only. do you think of montserrat come all year still performs on the stage she's an amazing woman she's very talented and she's very sick now some people say she's too fat she's got a metabolic disorder and many other illnesses because sitting all this she's in good shape she's a real hero because she's got a very serious disease she can't even have a surgery but despite all her alyssa's she continues singing in getting on stage and she's very cheerful do you think it's the right thing that she continues living on stage. you know i think that stage is like drugs that are hard to give up. but she does not sing opera arias any longer it was

a funny situation when she was giving a concert and someone shouted we want no more who want no more chances if only you knew how much i wanted. what you things is sas well as spanish songs it is not a town singing arias is it more difficult physical interesting arias. of course is difficult well the main difficulty of our age is that one day he feel like a young girl and everything is ok but another day i feel like an elderly woman who find it hard to walk. because of the instability of our health we are afraid to sign opera contracts because if you can't stop you from getting on stage there is such a thing of death alone. there was a serious question actually probably some considerations or business or doctors or anything of the kind. i don't can't doctors at all except for one wonderful woman

whom i adore. so you think that nerves cause all the illnesses of course without any doubts love is the cause of only two of them others come from nervousness correct. life it prolongs our desiring something from life is a drug it's a real drug we hard and dangerous drug this is our breasts our you are probably the first saudi a prima donna to achieve world recognition and world famous and in spite of all that you never left the bolshoi when you never emigrated or lived abroad. never knew you did guest doors of course but you always remain part of the saga its system of getting visas and permits going abroad and returning on time where we were being tempted to leave the country during the soviet times it could have been

easier there once was the terrible instance when i had been trying to obtain a permission to recall brody's to write with a bad oh do you think you need sleep literally i see it's the case when you. you were not given that opportunity after all did something go wrong official fail to santa telegrams tell them i was coming you can either sing and recorded that with her despite my being in milan on the day when it was done. so you arrived and i freaked out and said that's it i'm leaving you don't want to have anything to do that my friend again in a tranquil trolley coming down to prevent me from saying something that would make me banned from going abroad so you never seriously considered leaving the country never i can't live without russia i walk along the streets and i know everything about every old lady actually is and what your thoughts are. even more friends of drooly here as i live there quite a lot more candidly without russia. many in the world asked followed

by many in russia keep saying that the russian character has a special treat they even don't call it nostalgia they use the russian word car to describe it as a typical for any normal person or is it specific for russians you must tell gee if russia right where your home country i feel it strongly is it only russian in my opinion it's only russian. every year i spent three months in japan in tokyo a job in the academy so when i happened to walk in the corridor and hear someone saying. i've always we say do you feel this longing for my country. i will never forget my scene rahmani nose grave new york new york initially i plan to spend their own limited to to lay flowers but i sat there for several hours

weeping this feeling of love for my own model and for the soil you were born or is very strong why is it so is it because the russian soul is so different from elsewhere. or is it because we used to be so much isolated historically think about that you know i did not wonder americans feel perfect everywhere i don't know but we british it may be because many of us at least people from my generation least through many troubles i was born in nine hundred thirty nine and nine hundred forty one had farming during the siege of leningrad lots of suffering. is something like when we love a child who's most ill a week or more of the motions in. life. the more you love that part of your life our country has gone through so many. good all our life into this country how can we both love it absolutely when such

prominent people like you come to us we always want them to tell us a story or two about someone famous you must have worked with many outstanding people like. he career as a couple yeah there i can say for us what about their lives they must conduct themselves differently when they're with you not in public what are they like in their daily lives to be asked like i can know then normal people hire their professional and intellectual level is there more that can get themselves a simple and normal people they're probably not soo nice when you talk to them you know genius no they're very nice people an accomplished person does not need to pretend to be something she is not only people who lack something pretty all complied with and use clothes and so forth in other words you mean there are more normal even more than those who are around them no doubt. you know the domingo

said once when he celebrated his seventieth anniversary. if i had. i get covered with the rest of chile unquote scarcity we judging from what you have said here already if you subscribe to these words absolutely. also in terms of professionalism we can't afford i'll miss lose almost learns when we seen if we don't write for several days we'll lose form just like assets to see how to keep yourself in good shape i see even when i don't sing l i still do some exercises right in my abdomen muscles and so on. also said after one of his moscow through wars i quote see the russian or us is well known for its responsiveness and i can't imagine that this may ever change

performing here use a great experience for me unquote what with. me see the russian audience a special is a truly saw what you see what you saw peculiar about it. russia is a very fine people even though they may be rude at times. google is a hot russians a very fine or even refined people we specially musicians actors intellectuals. know as it can tree has these fine people like pushkin dostoyevsky. and we're russians have very delicate feelings. even when i was already rather famous in the west every time i be formed in russia i felt like

a student taking an example where as i felt as an actress in the west i felt like a student take an exam here in russia. we're a failed the next. sam says no i passed most of my exams because it's something emotional is a cloak you're on the same frequency with a rush and we're moving i don't know. i never thought about that the sooner you try to win it the form in russia i always feel it i have to prove to these people use nitish well you're right i'm really good all this is helium that albatross song of probably the best metal soprano in the world spotlight will be back shortly we'll continue this interview in less than a minute after a break so stay with us and we'll. get to it.

then in. the needs of the best and the media radio ended in an intensive no number for the hours he goes is screaming that i see the. most dangerous. radiation that exists in the nature. of our cars because in the vicinity of known differentiated so produce is so much of the genetic changes including an suv leukemia. why i've been out of a meal since the fugues you don't have to have a college degree going to have to bring education to understand that if you spread radioactive materials all over something backyard that you got a problem. with the observed nature and discover is.

that the communicate with the laws and lemon. test yourself and become free to. see what nature can give you a nazi. welcome back to spotlight on well we're not in just a reminder that my guest in the studio today is yellin that. opera singer met soprano. we were just talking about operate in the fact that russians are delicate and sophisticated enough to enjoy but nonetheless it seems that these days . such as bowie and authorize can only be enjoyed by the elite the people who have

musical education people who are prepared to enjoy awkward was a true agree with that look at ealing it was there you see. this thing is that opera has lost two generations after formers or listeners it is and i'm talking about the audience so much pop on the radio television in concert halls. music became so popular people forgot about it after a few. back in the soviet times people always knew the names of all opera saying is in our prison costs broadcast on television. the people who are being educated to give it least hear classical music that's a small a when a prominent party leader died. for this cause you know people of your status should

despise bach and use it and yet you just called it an art is how do you feel about pop music of worship and know why a lot of people who are all very professional in gays in pop music it would be wrong to despise them so you don't generally feel snobbish towards pop music and not in tune if the not all exists and it isn't him on that means it deserves to exist. but that's not the point to the point is we don't need that much of it. balance and that is something people who are on the television have to consider well what the music critics to this only teen in we used to know all of all great artists. today we don't know anybody in addition a lot of young artists move to the west because among other things there was no law that would let us remove the old before was for theaters but they're no longer able

to do their work is the same as keeping elder man on a football team in football my older players are asked to leave but that would be impossible to do you see it is. when someone starts working in a russian theatre they spend the rest of their life there as a theatre has to give you work. that means there is simply not enough room in the theatres for aspiring young reformers. well that's easy for you to say that because you're a star but i don't think there are hundreds so our viewers who have dedicated their lives to ork would agree with the i just found that they too have to understand there is time to make room for the young. we're talking about popular music but there is a big difference which we call quality part music like the biddles or elton john marshall shankar in russia and the low quality part songs which bottles and notes

don't matter all that matters is how much mine isn't there stood in for the project or should i see i see don't ask me about money i don't know anything about it. what can you say about today's young musicians i don't mean oppositions what russian classical performers what are the actual musicians of your generation had any major cation they don't read enough books they don't communicate a try. enough. they don't live enough. you can only convey to the audience those emotions that you have experienced yourself in your own heart and mind. you've been through the war they can't all go to war they don't have to but they can read about wars recent australia some

tolstoy any book that can teach them about life so you serious absolutely. need to read books to hit the right notes on your instrument or even with your voice all of them as they read music seeds when they see. a man they see now but what they should be singing is music that is very different when you sing music you can touch people's hearts use your professional skills to convey life emotion grief happiness sorrow turns in this heart to heart. when you are singing now but you just sing in notes of your own vocalists out there who can't even read notes and some who can do it very well and some people consider to be. educated on musicians is that true or is it just an exaggeration there is a very good joke about that a baby is born and he starts counting in tallinn. changes say says

they decided to remove half of his brain because it would be very difficult to live if you're that smart you know they did the baby wakes up and starts counting again do it they decided he's way too smart so the hell his brain will have to be removed the baby wakes up and goes. more or less how turner is born. world. that is just a derogatory. so is it just a popular misconception or do singers really need alas education there are many stupid singers that much is true is that i don't know about other professions but i think there are racial smart people in fools is roughly the same in all professions to many young russians today want to study classical music i mean boggles the

schools. there's a lot of them too much in fact. many of those who want to study music want to become artists. but what's important is to have something to say if you have something to say then there is a point in going on stage if you don't think it would be pointless to learn the art isn't very difficult actually learn to hotmail languages history music history the history of cos you know you literature and art history to. a lot to be a real artist i think you sing in sand different languages that's right how many of those languages do you actually know i'm fluent in french and italian and what about other languages you don't actually understand what you're singing dear other languages i know some anguish. but it wouldn't really teach in japanese.

you really teach in japanese i do have been doing this for years thing is that before i sing something i always sit down to translate everything to learn what it is all about is nothing the results will be just notes not music words here you have a culture center of your own but i have read that you also dream of setting up a singing school it would be nice so it appears that your kingdom used to small for you. q how did big flat instant. aware to prepare for contests and how little it costs and claim it. but i would certainly wish to have where it was staged are probably formalises. everything to be done the way i once said. since i have sung with the greatest

conductors best singers and directors i know a lot and have something to say. this is a classical performances are these the human interaction where alone after a. many performances to do we use all sorts of training visual affairs and so on. have you ever taken part in such performances and what's your attitude to them. i would normally refuse to take part in such before. for example was change the points like it was in the beginning of law ingrain in a theater of barcelona and so forth. all these comes from the lack of culture and education. so you label it director who street is a great art or a. person with no culture. what about the other are

the mere animals etc there is a good example. there are people very well brought up and know what they must live for. as for those passing fancy what they do is like we're painting a beautiful classic where i can walk around in something totally irrelevant. to space or to thank you thank you very much for being with you thank you so much way it was a great pleasure to kind of use. and you just reminded that he learned how to solve the great myths the soprano was my guest in the students and that's it for now from all of us here if you want to have your say and spotlight you can always junk mail i will be back with more first any comments on the what's going on in and outside russia until then stay and i would see and take place.
