I went to the Conservatory of Music in school in Rome.

The restaurants close here in Salzburg. They don't really have a nightlife in the winter time.

The songs of Bizet are by a French peer of Rossini. When Rossini stopped composing, he was living in Paris. He also wrote some beautiful songs in French.

We consider Monteverdi the first composer of opera. There was someone before, but everything started with Monteverdi.

Music is a way to dream together and go to another dimension.

The voice is an instrument that you really must take time to develop. It's like a good red wine Give it time.

I am a person of the 18th century.

It's such a joy to work with different ensembles and create a collaboration. Rehearsing and building a performance is very interesting for me.

The goal is always to make a nice tableau painting with the voice. The more color I can find, the more shadow I can find - the goal is always to make more nuance and colors.

The media can be a really strong vehicle.

You must feel what you're singing, not just have a good presentation of the language.

You'll never understand someone if you can't stop assuming you already know everything about them.

People we met or going to meet have their own role in our life!!!

I am a daughter, a son of God's, part of God's royal family. In the perspective of eternity, many things of this world are petty, beneath me: Vulgarity, stinginess, greed, grudges.

You want me at your mercy, Princess. Question is, why?”“No, ” she whispered. “Question is, do I?

Train the mind, body and spirit, so you may achieve anything. Life is about sharing your dreams/purpose (gifts/passions/talents) with the world and helping others find their way.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

I'm never getting too lonely because it's the kind of disease where you might sit in front of the TV with three bags of biscuits, rather than communicate with the world.

Self-respect governs morality: respect for others governs our behavior.

I find that the further I go back, the better things were, whether they happened or not.

Life is too short to nurse one's misery. Hurry across the lowlands so that you may spend more time on the mountain tops.
