i see your final say and you. yes yes well after celebrating your seventeenth birthday you said and i have this quilt whatever i imagine i never thought that i would still be singing out to seventy this is what you said right what keeps here what keeps you afloat with keeps in such wonderful shape isn't it the music itself well i think it's the. passion that i always feel for what i do. really really it's a privilege for me to do a career than i love so much and i know that. career which you can make people happy you can make them feel good many times problems so it's a very positive thing what you do so it's not like i understand that they just there is people that when they arrive normally to my age but before they're looking forward for retirement you know because he's

a job that he's if you call and they have been doing it all their life and so on but in my case i i am lucky that i am still seeking and saw. i just don't know why but i am still able to see really is the passion that makes me do it you do a lot of things not only for the audiences which is natural in your profession but you do a lot just for ordinary people you help people help your colleagues is it true do you feel that that that you live as long as people media is that right well. i don't want to say that i think that you leave your life where you have to leave you know so i i i hope that i can especially when you have work all your life even though you are working you you want to be able to enjoy it with all your family and so on you know so you want to see your grandchildren growing and you

know sort of then they are already growing their other ones their police also the respect you have a speck patients to see well i hope i can see them when the police finish the university and so on you always always are looking for something you know and of course to i mean in the career mater. what we are doing right now here it was struck is one of the things that i love the most which is my competition to have the young out of these programs which is the continuation of generation that i belong to that i learned from past generations and then i want to be able to deliver and give it to other seniors and i have been doing it already for now the competition we are in the. nineteenth year and we have saw so many great singers so i'm very very happy i'm very put out there with these competition we'll be able to do this here you brought

a prelude to moscow and you dedicated this competition to to go international scale is one of those brilliant russian sopranos who has singing is unique and she asked . school now what can you say about mrs school is she getting international commission already and i mean the school that that she created indeed is getting a commission and she has a. wonderful group of sunni groups rotation like it should be old which when you have young artists you have to you have been some time then your lead then you held them to work out to be a professional and they have a wonderful possibility because they have this which they are able to really perform you know so they can and you can do many many performances. across the year which is a problem in those advantage that are normally places that they have right now i do have responsibilities in in syria in serbian valente i mean i have it because i

have in washington and in los angeles young artists but there is difficult to have the theater constantly what imbalance you have there is a smaller theater which you can have than your lot is so. very lucky then she has that theater and that she can have her artist constantly working and that's the way if i live mistaken you saying together with going on stage only once and only last three years what are we in question saying with her because because she had a lot to say after she performed with what can you say. she was great at these great. no or only seeing tremendous i praise. full of temperament and a great lady of the theater and i don't want to see the nice fighting lady with yes

she's a very fiery and that the we have fire on the stage she was there we were doing tosca and she was going to kill scrappy and. when she took her wish to bow to the tosca when she was going to kill a sculptor you know week when the fire and i mean i was outside of the stage because come out of those she spoke of the states i'm scared of pia it was course the spa scully's she realized when she was in fire and he doesn't want to die. and he was pulling his hair and he was trying to pull the we are great and she was three years of class of gracie. and to children realize that she was on fire and finally able to util kind of in between burning to bring the weak down and i came in this side with the fire of

people and they were there with the bottle of of wine and water them sculpey of us we we made the fire hold. not only a fire the performances by by her but the really fire on the stage great narrator did she ever sing to your children grandchildren well we love eyes and things. as we seem to get they are. especially the two little ones they are very impressed by because you know what we did. you didn't do little boys we were doing that. now there are three young boys singing then they see this one is fifteen sixteen seventeen and they fear the whole time and now they say let's put the children so they sang in cmos hall in new york

and then they said let's put one of the on par with china. and they are saying good so they sing with me you know so. the law by the cynic says that when we seem to get the. ok ok you've mentioned being great a great performer laurence olivier after see you and there are these a tele in vienna once remarked that domingo acted as well as he did himself once there alone so that he how important are acting abilities for opera singer for a tenor i think could be there are almost essential you know we still we have because of television but the still we have to remember the opera as or per hour and the vocal ability should be number one there are some singers and the they are not great actors but they have such an

unbelievable voices then you will say my god you know this is really a voice and the probably would like it could prove need for the kind of. theater then i like to do i like to be believable as a character and for me it's very important the acting but i don't see that it has to be for everybody well of course the people today they like to believe because they are very spoiled they have seen so many good things in all the you know in order when your son in television and so they are spoiled and they see most the big percentage of or popular singers today they have a great ability to act you know so for me is indispensable and it's always has been fair i think i think the youth has always been important who you are playing what's the thing about the character not only reading them though of course of course it is it is all so important to be really in the middle of the

carpet. says. it just reminded that you know watching the spotlight on our team you will be back in a matter of minutes after that break so stay with us tonight. we'll. bring you the latest in science technology from the realms. we've got the future of coverage. good. grief. three. three. three. three.

times. for the for. the biggest issues get a human voice ceased to face with the news makers. welcome back to spotlight i'm just a reminder that my guest on the show today is. the world famous opera singer i want to say tenor but recently i've heard. you have. back to the roots you're trying to be a baritone once again and there is even a quote you said. that. gives you a lot more satisfaction than the role of heroes and big love.

you know i think. called on i perform the father you know i have had from the father in different locations. first. as a. source of. in. i did. my as it was the body of course. fathers. well i think they're the road he's best music for the scenes that he has with his daughters or with his sons you know so the reason even. for scully in his source for me or press where the. body to him has

to be our father. you know i mean father son father both are is the best music ever written by virtue of the you know when i read about you that in nineteen fifty nine year old in mexico city in the opera as a baritone and they told you know you're a tenor ok and you became it i told somebody that you know that the mingle became a tenor because they told us to be interviewed and then told me you know it doesn't matter i mean most of the baritones are tellers knows the tenor is a baritone is that right is it like close if you have a if you have a good voice you can be both you just you just choose yourself nice thing most of the ten or so most of colleagues they were very lucky they were born already with the tenor of the security and they came on the theme or you know but i was maybe i was never an operatic body to them. my parents they are. and the body

cronies are bite of me and this is when so i sang many roles then they were interested too they would almost turn or you know so that's the reason i really i am singing parts of body when i don't consider myself a ballot on what i am singing then because i feel then i think they need they need to sing good they need an actor and because because the public wants to hear me more and. very happy to seeing these roles which i have always a lot you know i mean who would listen one to. this very has been so on so much time around who doesn't want to go go to. so and i have done it and television and i am ready to do it on the stage and i don't pretend to be about it and what i pretend to see in the rigoletto. let's get. to that alley one of the one of the winners of your point earlier was was. he is now one of the famous russian

are pressing is what do know that she was not she was not a good idea. she had some to do with you know yes yes she she came to seeing because i meet her very heavily in the in the beginning of her career i mean her with develop the give of course with all the big talent he was having from the. you know before i started seeing in the beefier for she was singing in washington for me she was singing. she was singing susannah the notes if you go she was singing eagerly. and she was singing. in los angeles she was singing. juliet she was singing in mono she has done a lot of things for us before so i i we were also i was singing pacified with. a lady and she was one of the room in those days you know in any

you need that we were doing and so i made her from there but you know i got one want to go to a competition she says she never went to a competition. she's a great artist but she could be you know look at alya because she told me no plus you know i know i don't want to go go d.s.i. she was seen again i was very happy i'm very lucky because today you cannot catch her you know you can she she doesn't have a free day and she doesn't come anymore you know so so i was lucky to get on my show she was almost on here you're looking to go. ok now and i'm lucky to have you. another question about the young generation that now here in russia after ali is in moscow you can have a close look at me young russian talents do you see a lot of talented people is this somebody among those that you see the russians that you really hold your breath and you think this guy can be better than me. we

have final very good voices very rude voices. altogether i mean sort of then they don't pass the subby final small devore mind there are great voices and although they have now in the finals the finals and i have to say that we have for ten or so they're. one of the colonel's use he says with a romantic capacity you know she she seems to. be big and he sings grievances to a lot the same an important dramatic voice so i'm looking forward to obviously i'm looking forward for ten or so and then we have. an order to turn over any piece of any piece in the russian army and minion and he is more leery and then we have an american telephone a south korean ten or so those other four terms we have for the finals so we are

looking forward and yes i hear him in this amount of russian talent there is there is our ocean in the world and he's in the finals also which is a tremendous start that she was singing in the queen of the night and she was singing seven eight that holds ladies already and we have we have great great talent you will sing you once said i quote singles can be many some of the making phenomenal careers but there are real artists of whom you may say this is a star they are very few so what. and not receiving a great opera singer into a real star or what is a real star where is the public the. term and the decision that we'll enter special stars you know as the public which the term meaning i'm sure that everybody wants to be you know all star you know everybody would like to be in

a very important place but it's the public the public school makes the stars doesn't matter how much you want to try to be the public. house and determining that it puts you to the signed of a star is the one that stands is the one takes is the one that gives you and it's the one the nice in all our career is probably the main stars you were part of the famous three tenors project that was in a great joy in the for both world cup and roman one nine hundred ninety s. well. is it good from your point of view when when classical becomes becomes a very popular popular even maybe wagner i mean this is a sort of concession a fine arts to pop culture well vall got it no no vulgar no i have never done anything involved or. popular yes of course i think really there's help very much.

to really bring a lot of new people because when we were doing this concert we would always big big venue and in the big venues. and you would seem the only opera you will see more put out you know where i was sitting with us where we're singing operator were singing songs all day you know. we were doing middle east's with the solo doing the national songs of the world with songs which they're spinning as something that all the. or north italian colonels they have they have in the repertoire you know so i think we were making just happy to people and i think then we we open the way we open the world of corporate are from many many new people last year he became president of the euro cannot run and the voice of the cultural heritage in europe do you consider opera classical music

sort of a heritage that needs to be protected that's dying just just like with. just like the. big monuments the churches the well the pressures that they would open has i thin your city has to be protected oprah has to be protected and he's a most is a cultural. tradition and i mean you specially russians you do have such a great tradition and i think it's difficult to find a good amount of four per composers and you happened in russia but you see i mean as a tally and as cities the you know is the krieble of opera you know is that what i believe and russians all together you have the bigger amount of four per composers that exist you know. i think i'm right if you count to all of them

i'm sure than you are right to eight or ten which is difficult but i've you know they're against what against pop music because pop music is stronger is it killing classical well look i don't see you cannot protect their. music with the problem you see he's there and he's going to be leaving whatever he's just. a peaky the children because the parents of the children they love the pub you see so they show it to the children i it's a pity that it is not education for the children to learn classical music they could learn it if you really pietra children the children you make. something with the principal themes of the symphonies you know and there are pros and you do it. in a pleasant way in a playful way they're going to learn classical music without even noise so this is

a must a child should read what you should have should study music you know with no no seriously and then indeed we know. you know they will made the decision you don't want to be city as musicians but music should be available for the children since it seems since they are really have to creep into creep into kindergarten into school he should be able to be able to hear to music and in fact to disprove the children they have been. listening to mozart use you know in schubert and some of the music that he's available and nice for the not too loud the. more relaxed legal or more relaxing you know so i think he's the most education for children should be music should be part of for the great advice for all the parents that's listening to right now in russia today thank you thank you very much

for being. a guest on the show today or as. the great world renowned and that's it for us. thank you. and that's it and now from all of us here moving back with more comments on what's going on in and out and so then they are part and take you. through all. three thank you thank.
