Mostly what I listen to when I turn on my little iPod is opera.

I have always loved music and singing, and I am open to listen to any type of music. Regardless of my mood, my heart is always set racing when I listen to opera. When I decide which music I want to hear, my choice is almost invariably an opera recording.

Music and opera are a big part of my life.

I love opera so much. I would never go back to doing it, but I love to listen - I'm grateful for it.

I know that my passion is for opera, but sometimes I like also to sing songs, because there are many beautiful melodies.

To this day, I adore classical music, and I'm very interested in opera, which I found out later my father was also extremely fond of.

But nevertheless, it's music ultimately that matters in opera, and opera is a piece of music reaching out as a vision in sound reaching out to the world.

Opera is a beautiful and important diversion for me.

I enjoy listening to opera at home, occasionally, but I would much rather see it than just listen to it.

To tell you the truth, I never listen to opera at home.
