Opera is a beautiful and important diversion for me.

Above all, I am an opera singer. This is how people will remember me.

Opera is one of the most important art forms. It should be listened to and appreciated by everyone.

In opera, as with any performing art, to be in great demand and to command high fees you must be good of course, but you must also be famous. The two are different things.

It is so important for people at a young age to be invited to embrace classical music and opera.

I'm a perfectionist, and I always think that I can do better what I have done, even if it's good.
