The voice is certainly important and you can hear if it's beautiful or not, it's the gods who decide; it's more a question of what you do with the voice, which is the mysterious element. It's the personality behind the voice which makes the artist. The voice is a gift of God, but if you're not able to use this gift, what's left? Nothing but a beautiful voice, without nuance or color.

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

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.

The songs of Bizet are by a French peer of Rossini. When Rossini stopped composing, he was living in Paris. He also wrote some beautiful songs in French.

Well, what I tried to do is to just listen to my voice, because my voice is my boss. She decides.

I went to the Conservatory of Music in school in Rome.

Music is a way to dream together and go to another dimension.
