What is beautiful enchants me. I mean not just physical beauty but a wider concept of beauty. There is beauty in poetry and in great musical or singing performances. There is beauty everywhere if you can just see it.
Probably the first time I left Italy was to travel by train to Lourdes. I went with my mother and my grandmother - who was a very religious person - so it was a pilgrimage of sorts. I remember it as a very intense, but beautiful experience.
Music is able to make a person dream. When you dream, you dream of something good, something beautiful, and when you dream, you always dream of yourself better than you are.
Even in the most beautiful music there are some silences, which are there so we can witness the importance of silence.
It's always beautiful to sing with other great voices. I like voices in general. It's a big privilege to have great singers next to me.
I know that my passion is for opera, but sometimes I like also to sing songs, because there are many beautiful melodies.
The world is full of many beautiful voices; I will perform with many of them. I love women's voices.
Even in the most beautiful music, there are some silences, which are there so we can witness the importance of silence. Silence is more important than ever, as life today is full of noise. We speak a lot about environmental pollution but not enough about noise pollution.
