The voice is something very mysterious. It's difficult to say what is inside a voice that moves people.

To sing opera, one needs two things: the voice and the passion - and above all, the passion.

The voice is something very mysterious. It's difficult to say what is inside a voice that moves people.

I've been to almost every country in the world, and the most frustrating thing for me has been that my schedule has always been so busy that there's so little time before and after performances to explore where I'm visiting.

For me, the most enjoyable type of singing is opera. It allows you to move, to wear a costume ... to do something with your body. When singing in concert you have to stand up in front of the audience, next to the conductor, which is less natural.

When I get on stage, my first goal is not to show my expertise, but on the contrary, to give a bit of happiness, of joy, of cheerfulness. I am firmly convinced that in order to sing well, you must love your neighbor and be passionate about life.

I'm quite shy, so I hate seeing my private life splashed over the papers.
