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

People realize that Salieri is not the man we saw in the Amadeus movie. That man had no talent. It was a great movie, but the Salieri character was a big fiction.

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.

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

The voice is an instrument that you really must take time to develop. It's like a good red wine Give it time.

The first time I sang with David Daniels... I had never performed with a countertenor before. That first time was magic, it was so beautiful. And he's such a great artist.

You must feel what you're singing, not just have a good presentation of the language.
