When Working With An Orchestra, You Never

When I Was A Young Man, I Was A Baritone, Very Far From Possessing The Whole Range Of The Tenor Then.

I'm Not Superstitious Because It Brings Bad Luck.

I Was Married At 16, A Father At 17 And Divorced At 18.

Between Parts I Was Too Old For And Roles That Were Too Overwhelming, Out Of Reach Then For My Voice. I Carved Out A Niche With The Wagnerian Repertoire Since I Am Attracted By Its Theatrical Intensity.

When Facing Symphonic Orchestras Which Have Played Some Works Five Thousands Times, You Have Nothing To Do.
