The restaurants close here in Salzburg. They don't really have a nightlife in the winter time.

I still the love classic period, but also the baroque period, and even 17th-Century music such as the music of Monteverdi. He's one of the greatest opera composers. He was the one who really started the opera.

It's such a joy to work with different ensembles and create a collaboration. Rehearsing and building a performance is very interesting for me.

Actually, I feel music becoming more and more important. It's a big source of inspiration. With what's going on in the world, we feel almost desperate. Music also brings you peace.

When you are accompanied by the instrument - on an instrument like the lute-the lute and voice - you have this sound, and you feel how the music can be so touching and yet so simple.

I did a concert... in September with the Berlin Philharmonic... They're great musicians, and there's always something to learn from them.

Well, I don't think a specific role can destroy your voice. What can destroy your voice is when you... make an error. Everybody can make an error. But then you need to realize what is your way.
