Opera is credible drama now, and it costs less than going to a football match. What have you got to lose?

To tell you the truth, I never listen to opera at home.

I do a lot of vocal hygiene.

I do hope that our spring will be starting shortly and we will all be able to enjoy some sunshine again.

Singing is an arduous business and it needs sacrifices.

My mum used to say to me, 'Spit on yer 'ands and take a fresh 'old.' Keep going even if you have setbacks.

There are a lot of unseen elements to having a successful singing career.
