I have no desire to become a crossover artiste, singing with microphones. I believe in opera; that it is something that young people would love if they had a chance to hear it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I would love to sing opera.
I have never called myself an opera singer. Other people do, but I always call myself a classical singer. I'd love to do opera, but I'm still too young and I don't want to do it until I'm ready. I realise that when I do that it's going to be... up for discussion, shall we say, so I want to get it right.
I'd love to have the time to learn to sing opera properly rather than bellowing half-formed fragments of melody in exuberant moments.
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.
But I won't deprive myself of singing opera as long as my voice follows.
I know that my passion is for opera, but sometimes I like also to sing songs, because there are many beautiful melodies.
I had classical training but I don't consider myself an opera singer though.
I loved singing. But can you imagine my voice in an opera house?
I love opera so much. I would never go back to doing it, but I love to listen - I'm grateful for it.
I've always said that I count myself as a classical crossover artist. To be so, you have to have the core classical training, which I did for many, many years, but also be interested in the pop side of things. You can fit in somewhere in the middle. I feel I do that really well.
