To Tell You The Truth, I Never

To Tell You The Truth, I Never Listen To Opera At Home.

One Of The Problems That We Face Through The Media Attention That These Artists Receive Is That There Has Been An Awful Lot Of Talk About Opera And Classical Music Being Elite And Being For An Elitist Group.

It Worries Me That Young Singers Think You Can Shortcut The Training And Go Straight To Fame And Fortune, And Programmes Like Pop Idol Have Encouraged That.

I Performed In Sydney Some Years Ago For The Sydney Festival And I Am Just So Pleased To Be Returning To The Wonderful Sydney Opera House And Also Performing In Melbourne For The First Time.

As Far As I Was Concerned The Important Thing Was That The Music Was Getting The Attention As Well As Me So It Was Always A Great Way To Get More Of The Public To Connect With Classical Music, And Opera Particularly.
