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.

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

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.

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

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

We consider Monteverdi the first composer of opera. There was someone before, but everything started with Monteverdi.

The media can be a really strong vehicle.
