I have always studied my parts with the orchestral score and not with the piano reduction.
The public is a part of my real life.
But I won't deprive myself of singing opera as long as my voice follows.
Honestly, if the public still wants to hear me in some works, I have to go down a half step.
When a young artist is ready, one has to bring him into the limelight.
The high note is not the only thing.
