would still be singing out of seventy this is what you said right what keeps you what keeps you afloat what keeps you in such wonderful shape isn't it the music itself but i think it's the. passion that i always feel for what i do. really really is a privilege for me to do a career than i love so much and i know that a career which you can make people happy you can make them feel good many times the problems so it's a very positive thing for you to so it's not like i understand that the us people that when the arrive normally to my age would be forgiven looking forward to retirement you know because he said. they have been doing it all the life and so on but in my case i. am lucky that i am still seeking and saw. i just don't know why but i am still able to see 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 you live as long as people need 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 hope that i specially when you have work all your life even though you're. 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 some of then they already go in the other ones too little so the respect you have a spec they show is 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 career mater. what we are doing right now here in moscow is one of the things 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 that i learned from past generations and then i want to be able to to deliberate to give it to all the singers and i have been doing it already for 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. with this competition will be able to do this here you brought it to moscow and you dedicated this competition to to go into a chef scale who is one of those brilliant russian soprano i was singing is unique and she has her own 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 the commission and she has a. wonderful group of seeing groups rotation like it should be old which when you have young artists you have to you have done some time then your lead then you held on to walk out to be a professional and they have a wonderful possibility because they have this theater which they are able to really perform you know so they can they can do many many performances. course the year which is a term in those of the vantage that are normally places that they have right now i do have this possibility seen. 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 both in valencia there is a smaller theater which you can have that your lot is so.

very lucky that she has that theater and that she can have her artists constantly working and that's the way it is mistaken you saying together with only once and only. what do you question singing with a bit because because she had a lot to say after she performed with the what can you say. great these great. no only seeing tremendous actor is. full of temperament and a great lady of the theater and i don't want to say the needs of fighting a lady would yes she's a very fiery and that day we have fire on the street which she was we were doing tosca and she was going to kill. me when she took.

the tosca when she was going to kill her week when the fire. i mean i was outside took the stage because. the stage. it was course. she realized she was in fire and he doesn't want to die. and he was holding her and he was trying to pull the week. and she didn't realize that she was on fire and finally was able to. util kind of in between burning bring the weak down and i came to this side with the fire people and they were there with the bottle of of wine and water than us we took we make the fire out. not only a fire the performances by by her but the really fire on the great narrator did you

ever sing to your children grandchildren when we. sing together day they are. especially the two little ones they are very impressed by because you know what we did three turned out. she didn't do little boys we were doing. there are three young boys. then they sing this one is fifteen sixteen seventeen and they hear the whole time and now they say let's put the children. in cmos hold a meal and then they said let's put the one of grandpa with the child. and they are saying good so they sing with me you know so the. the cynic sees that when we sing together ok you've mentioned being great

a great performer laurence olivier to see you in there are these tell that in vienna once remarked that domingo acted as well as he himself once they're alone so that he how important are acting abilities for opera singing for the tenor i think they. are almost essential you know we still we have because the television or the still we have to remember the opera and the vocal ability should be. the number one. the. doctor's. voice. in my god this is really a voice and the public would like it but for me. i like to do i like to be believable as a. very important acting but i don't see that it has to be for everybody but of

course the people today they like to believe because they are very spoiled they have seen so many good things. television and so they are spoiled and they see the big percentage of. the day they have a great ability to act you know so for me indispensable. it's been i think. important who you are playing what's the thing about. it of course of course. who to be really. says. just a. matter of minutes at break so stay with us.

three. three. three. three. three. for the full we've got. the biggest issues get voice face to face with the news makers.

just a reminder that my guest on the show today. the world famous opera singer i want to say but recently. back to the roots you're trying to be. there's even a quote you said. that. gives you a lot more satisfaction than the role of heroes and big love. each. performed the father i have performed the father in different.

first. in. all i did. of course. this father's. better the road his best music for the scenes than he has with his daughters or with his sons. even. when he is sore so many or press where the. body turn has to be a father. you know i mean father son father daughter is the best music ever written by virtue of the you know when i read about you that in nineteen fifty

nine year old dition in mexico city in the opera as a baritone and they told you know you were ok and you became it i told to somebody that you know that domingo became a tenor because they told him he has to be a tenor and the guy told me you know it doesn't matter i mean most of the baritones are telling 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 no i think most of the ten or so most of my colleagues they were very lucky they were born already with. and they can go on the thing or you know but i was maybe i was never. my parents they are. and the body tony's higher body to i mean this is so i sang many roles then they were there were almost ten or you know so that's the reason but i i really i am singing parts of body and i don't consider myself. then

because i feel then i think they need to they need to sing good they need to not tour and because because the public wants to hear me more. very happy to seeing these roles which i have always loved you know i mean who will soon one two and out is there has been so much time around who doesn't want to go to rigoletto. and i have done it and i am ready to do it on the stage and i don't pretend to be a body to him but i pretend to sing the rigoletto. let's get back to to rally one of the one of the winners it was was. who is now one of the famous russian are pressing there's one of the no that she was not she was not a put out. she had some to do with you know yes yes she she came to seeing because of her very. you know her career i meet her with. with all the

big talent he was having. you know i before i start to sing in the big theater she was singing in washington for me she was singing. she was singing. the notes if you go she was singing you need. me 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 were also i was singing with. a lady and she was one of the. in those days you know. in italy were doing it so i made her from there oh but you know i. don't want to go to a competition she says she never went to a competition. she's a great artist but she could be. but she told me. i don't want to go.

i was very happy i'm very lucky because today you cannot catch. 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. ok and now when i'm lucky to have you. another question about the young generation that now here in russia is in moscow you can have a close look at the young russian talents do you see a lot of talented people is there 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 finals would never mind

great voices. although they have now in the finals the finals and i have to say that we have four turnovers there and one of the ten. is with dramatic capacity you know and she. and she seems to even he seems to a lot you some important dramatic voice so i'm looking forward to obviously i'm looking forward for ten or so and then we have a. turnover and it is then it is. russian army and minion and he has more lyric and then we have an american south korean ten or so those are the four terms we have for the finals so we are looking forward and yes i hear him in the some out of the russian talent there. and he's in the final song so which is a tremendous start that she was seeing you know queen of the night and she was

singing sort of in a lot of old slade already and we have we have great great talent you would see a person who you once said i quote singular is can be many some of the making thing nominal careers but they're real artists of whom you may say this is a star they are very few so what tunes and now pressing you know a great opera singer into what is a real story well is the public that turned. into special stars you know as the public which the terminates i'm sure that everybody wants to be you know all star you know everybody would like to be in a very poor place but it's the public the public school makes the stars. how much you want to try it if the public. house and determinate that it puts you to.

use the one that stands is the one takes is the one that gives you and it's the wonder in all our career the public that makes the stars you were part of the famous three tenors project that was integrated during the football world cup in the realm in the one nine hundred ninety s. well. is it good from your point of view when when a classical becomes becomes very pop very popular even maybe vulgar i mean is that the sort of concession a fine arts to pop culture well vall got it no no vulgar no i have never done anything vulgar. popular yes of course i think really it has help very much to to really bring a lot of new people because when we were doing these concerts they would always be big venues and in the big venues. like. you only

opera you would sing opera we. would sing you know would sing in songs all day you know we were doing medleys with some of the international songs of the world with songs which there's been. something that all day. or north italian. they would have they have in their repertoire you know so i think we were making just happy to people and i think that we we opened the way we opened the world of for many many new people last year he became president of the europa nostra 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 the. just like the. big monuments the churches the well the pressures that they would open

has i think music has to be protected opera has to be protected and it is a most it's a cultural. tradition and i mean you specially russians you do have such a great tradition i think it's difficult to find a big amount of composers and you happened in russia but you see i mean. they say these you know it's the opera you know it's that but i believe that all together you have the bigger amount of composers that accies you know. i think i'm right if you count to all of then i'm sure than you are right two eight or ten which is difficult when i've you know they're against what against pop music because pop music is stronger is it killing classical music well look i don't say

you cannot protect. our music with the music is there and he's going to be leaving whatever he's just. m.p.t. the children because the parents of the children they love the pope. so they show it to the children i it's a pity that this is not education for the children to learn classical music they could learn it if you really teach children the children you make. something with the principal themes of the symphonies you know and they all and you do it. in a pleasant way in a playful way they're going to learn classical music without even knowing so this is a must a child should read me child should have should study music you know but no no seriously then we know. you know they will made the.

decisions but music should be available for the children. to creep into the school should be able to be able to. seek to disprove the children being. available and. the. more relaxing you know so i think the most education for children should be music should be part of the great advice for all the parents that's listening to right now in russia today thank you thank you very much for being. with a. great. and that's. thank

you. from all of us here will be back with more on what's going on. and take you. through. thank you you thank .
