When you are up close to an opera singer, hearing this incredible volume of noise coming from a human being - it's beyond belief.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In opera, there is always too much singing.
I think there's something strangely musical about noise.
I loved singing. But can you imagine my voice in an opera house?
The very beautiful and very touching thing about opera singers is they are very willing to do whatever you want. Unlike actors, who constantly want to know why they're doing something, opera singers will sort of follow you into the fires of hell.
Opera singing is in every way of inestimable value; a real heritage for all mankind that has been reached over centuries of studies, attempts, flights of the spirit.
An opera singer is like an athlete before a match. An athlete cannot overdo anything. In order to perform at the highest possible level, you need to refrain from activities so as to be able to express this power.
An operatic voice is like no other.
You can't do opera when already from the 10th row you can only see little dolls on the stage. In such an enormous space you can't put much faith in the personal presence of the individual singer, which is reflected in facial expressions, among other things.
The activity of a singer that sings opera is similar to that of an athlete.
Because, in opera, I have to sing for people that are very far from me, instead of, when I sing a song, I try to imagine to sing like in an ear of a child.
