My sister is an opera singer. I grew up going to her recitals. This whole time, I'm like, 'She's the singer. I'm just strumming along and yelling.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had classical training but I don't consider myself an opera singer though.
I know I'm an opera singer, but we're actors, too.
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'm a very musical person.
The activity of a singer that sings opera is similar to that of an athlete.
I sing what I sing. And that's recitals and orchestra concerts. To appease - no, that's not the right word - let's say to satisfy - any opera urgings that my public has, I'll put in an aria.
In opera, there is always too much singing.
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.
When you are up close to an opera singer, hearing this incredible volume of noise coming from a human being - it's beyond belief.
Above all, I am an opera singer. This is how people will remember me.
