In the last century, everybody was singing lower.
Every three days on average, I am alone on stage, facing the public.
On the other hand, I have devoted so much energy to reach the top that I accept the stress of being there.
I will prove that a great conducting career is expecting me.
Don't you think it astonishing that, at 58, I am still working at improving my career?
What is sad is not to be able to do today what you have done in your youth. But what is good is to remember that - when you were able - you did it to the best of your ability.
