I am open to everything.

Why should be elite, music? Excuse me. Music must be for everybody.

It is so important for people at a young age to be invited to embrace classical music and opera.

It is not always a matter of wild ovations and legendary performances. Sometimes you are just happy to get through an opera without trouble.

I received a beautiful welcome to the world of music. I want to give something back to the younger generation.

I think a life in music is a life beautifully spent, and this is what I have devoted my life to.

You don't need any brains to listen to music.
