Otherwise, you cant play the characters on stage that you want to know. Hear that because you dont know yourself what life is about am on the table. Vice leslie heis. Oh, Eunice Kaufman, grew up in a pretty regular family. His father worked for an insurance company. His mother was a kindergarten teacher. They went musicians, but they did love music. Kaufman became interested in singing at an early age and later studied in munich a global career wasnt really on the cards rushed to the end of our own life to cause a student. He was a happy go. Lucky guy, thing and he had a 1000 different interests, sports and cooking, and of course, music and technique and so on. This one at the doctor. He wasnt an extraordinarily diligent or industrial didnt. In other words, organ flights ago. I think a student what was most machines are oh, his 1st engagements were in sa, broken stuttgart and heidelberg, early on, kaufman embodied the operatic hero and was also idolized in real life. His years at the zurich opera house from 2001 to 2009 were formative his work began to take him around the world, milan new york, london and to the big festivals, including the iconic by rote, with low and grin. Ah, and to celts, book, of course, with vidalia Eunice Kaufman, took on the great tenor rolls and was internationally celebrated. Ah, yes. Clubby fees is incredibly versatile in terms of his repertoire. Withdraw. Escape confusing as or as adept in german, french and italian rep. Constantly the over whether its opera or leader. Hes just as versatile stylistically confident and musically vivacious in everything he does everything thing and the dude i good us. Oh, as keep to feel a school from todays to common via language, theres so many levels to pass through to arrive at what we call singing. And at the end of the day, i know, and thats the essence of it. Zorn, singing has to become 2nd nature of agency and it has to be one of those things we do without giving it a 2nd thought. Phase k, we speak without thinking about it. After we breathe without giving it any thought mandatory for singing as to become equal, the automatic mathis was a good also. And when it does sing, and you have the freedom to go on stage, and without thinking about technique, warner, you just interpret and inhabit the role you all in to put in, ah, its early evening in naples.

There was so hard for for me. I would be almost aga stagger. We got into it, and at the end we just drank and sweat and drank and sweat. It was pretty, im like a visit to the solder, and the oper at the same ha, its been omitted on i still feel swept away you to in the op, or you just lost your lover. You died yourself, america . Yeah, my girl. Well ha, next, next week. Another come along. Its like, oh no. Thats just the way it is. Go. Im incredibly into it incredibly involved emotionally, both via the moment its over and ill, its over. It was from either for body or just one mil above what happens if singing is no longer possible from there. Ive already experienced a situation where you had to take a break for several months because your voice needed arrest and how did you deal with that on what did you worry that youd have to stop that your voice would never come back in, but i need to read her, this is ne, im for kelvin, true human. Its never easy to overcome a vocal crisis vocal difficulties unscathed cut, especially unscathed, at the psychological, our, that for i am, because youre so deeply connected to your voice, the, as theyre english. These are shed in the far end because you not a huge amount of confidence to be able to draw on your voice in front of thousands of spectators in allah given tight, the moment you lose trust in your voice and games, couldnt. It becomes very difficult to stay relaxed and you perform with easier. Sure. You live lockout sublime aunt enlists who were in urban. So again, its very unpleasant. Why . Because you want to sing manhattan class is actively promised your fans. You would, mon, my love, perform a free love being in front of an audience design, or that makes it all the more frustrating when you have to wait an hour. But you also know that if youre patient about, sooner or later, you will be able to perform again. If you do it, youll have your voice back. Just as before, commish me to off tape on hobbit a say, but instrumental either or does better than the old unit. And again on stage after the vocal crisis. Looking out, if you remember that i sang that 1st performance as i always say with the handbrake on by the hope you took 2 or 3 performances before i had my confidence, then thank goodness knock on wood. Whereas the italian say talk up arrow. Its working just fine and from city through the im not why i dont try me on twitter. You know, all the was the is 2 of those opera is often such a great drama off and you will see what kind of drama queen and your personal line and in agony lim club, a nice position close to that im i am, i wouldnt say that i love drama, its been a month, im gonna, i like to have time for myself. And often i find myself running late because i still had something to do here or there somewhere. Another us, any dish taba can say good on my able to switch between my professional and private life very easily enough team the stick for bias. As soon as a performance is over, i feel totally free and that helps you come down from the hi this ama with id say that of all the prisoners going from one of the less complicated ones, the auditing opening on the skipped to the 9 father and son oh, this is also how his friend and former teacher him do each sees it, which is a pianist and professor whos known kaufman for almost 30 years. Ah, the heavens or filled it as of the ive often admired him. He has incredible discipline, but hes invited by friends who bore to really rare and excellent wine just to him. Hell apologize inside that he cant drink because hes singing the next day to me like seeing him long as you at least. And he really wont change. Look the see here my someone who when he has a certain job to do will stick by the rules he set for himself in a matter what temptation might come along the way. So call me when thats crucial. If you want to korea like his dish, lucio and, and suki care or bar good of opera, is considered a latest aloof. Have some say why put so much into our pro when we have a climate catastrophe the pandemic and was longer i why do we need or provide for taking . Yeah, i think of this to go out or just a Service Order from taylor is that . Well, i wouldnt say that its more important than putting bread on the table. The tree like a opera is elitist. It does cost a lot of money on, thus its not a form of art. Its created once and then is available wherever on in our like the visual arts through allstate. Since i worked lightly at the same time, its such a fascinating art for it as a show video. Otherwise, it wouldnt have lasted over the centuries on can, even though it allows you to dream yourself into a whole nother world. Was he . The music has an emotional impact or, and thats something really fascinating. It wasnt moving. Yeah, it was the 1st thing and as of october well, and as for im in the hall, i didnt cut it, especially in todays society, which is rather cold. I still am on focus on achievement and profit. Profit. Oscar leaked is and very banal, forms of recreation. It leaks to art. If you even want to call it that gift, i little demons of up north is all men. And can i defend opera because like so many others are under before yoga ive been fired up by a passion and a fascination for the beauty of this heart in the field is a yeah, he sure and height for fontes are const ill it so much that i cant imagine a World Without it. I know it on as he took it, i can see. Shall my house, clara the little drama along the way by that of like in me land at les galaxy, where you sang ness and dorman hob and somehow it didnt go to plan Discount Club cut. Ah, it is 150. 00. You would have money. Well, were all only human and not machines you hadnt missed one be behind. Oh for myself that i cant always see that everywhere be at the very top of my game goes critically and mentally. Or even when i am completely focused, i can get mixed up or be distracted for a couple of seconds, but have Something Else on my mind that even bother. And suddenly i realize the wrong words are coming out of my mouth or not. My intention fixed in decay, lou ah. 7 7 7 7 7 7 with them in my mouth, sometimes i ask myself how you do it, doesnt it get boring at some point to perform the same roles at the same place is acting as though its all new, or maybe it really does feel that way. Its casanova. Its been gorgeous and it fits against it, and i sung and more than 40 for an opera is altogether, i am at the moment there about 15 to 20 in my repertoire, colemans institution 15 on spanish. Of course, if youre always doing the same thing with the same colleagues under the same circumstances at a sympathy, it can become rather routine to sit up on the experience, have everything be new and exciting can turn into the nightmare of everything being always the same. I got a very lucky because i do get to enjoy a lot of variety in one i saxon least in my info. Oh, really what i see on my machine. Ah ah, is, can yonah i dont yona kaufman to be quieter and outgoing. For example, if a rehearsal isnt going the way he wants it, but this is the same man who can perform the final scene of common me in a way where you think all he has to do is perform. He doesnt even have to sing and it would still be wonderful. I think the barked the gun, thats part of who he is toward that enormous temperament. Each deceased is his own guy. Implement. Ah ah ah, the hum cds oclock. You experienced the corona virus. This time of enforced silence ye are ish, if you spinner to listen the group agency to of course i was in a very fortunate situation.
