My operas and my theatre works are very formal pieces.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My operas usually come from musical ideas rather than ideas about subject matter.
Music and opera are a big part of my life.
Opera is one of the most important art forms. It should be listened to and appreciated by everyone.
Professionally, I did a couple of operas when I was in school, when I was 18.
Opera is the original marriage of words and music, and there's a theatre element, a dramatic element. It's right up my alley.
I love to conduct opera.
My whole life is a theater piece.
I studied music formally. I was probably less formal about my study of acting than anything.
Opera is an exclusive art form, so it cannot be that popular. I just do what I love to do.
I started doing radio pieces with no clear, preconceived idea, except that I have a tendency to be theatrical.
