So. The evolution to me. I think you own us is a one off. Has a power and a beauty combined and it is so musical and speaks all these languages and hes like he has it all the thing about illness kaufman is that hes a phenomenally intelligent guy he thinks about everything i mean of course hes good looking very handsome 10 are very often if theyre fed up youre not so good looking and he has or is it you know has gone through a rough patch i mean theres not been well so theres a lot of expectation and were all rooting for him you know where he fits in the pantheon of the great tennis certainly hes one for the ages no question. Was. You know scott is arguably the greatest singer of his generation. At the Royal Opera HouseCovent Garden hes been tackling one of the most taxing roles in italian opera there. In the final hour before going on stage there was a little piece in his dressing room one thing for fact check no no do you need. To turn so privacy yet it just surprises you it comes right its it comes right up to give it a. Busy carrot gotta find a way to make that work because there. You are. There do. You. Like what were. Really just trying not to break into all is part of. This story so i certainly hope that easier for 3. Of these are all great scholars of the north the most incredible off the wall. Otello is seen as the everest a role that requires a certain amount of self torture and of course physically that can cramp you up. It is not so fun to play once you know how to deal with it vocally and how to somehow control your emotions then its its its fantastic well i found yes i did oh wonderful. This is. Not. Exactly. Half men. Talking jason people with this issue its wonderful. I dont know. Yet. 4 minutes before the opera is due to start its off the stage nothing can be left to chart. Yes was i his a rival as the victorious general will be precisely 4 minutes into the opera with his song of childs soul totty rejoice but the performance cant begin until hes in position in the wings only then can shakespeares manipulator jago launch the evenings drama with the 2 multiple stolen with scene. Backstage one minute 20 seconds off to the start the duel from the wings flew open and in full costume sprinted away from the stage all the way back to his dressing room he took off his sword is that ill be back in a sec and they were on the shock i mean everyone to dress or. The makeup lady. The stage hands of the stage managers their chests death toll has never been a make up. I mean havent i notable probe well enough to know that im if i really run up and i run down im gonna make it and time. Maybe if it doesnt sweat on the forehead no one noticed that well you come from battlefield obviously you can be out of breath when i. Heard. Her. Was. Was. The mistake of dressing up i went back upstairs or difficult so what i just showed up there to go directly on stage to stop a many seconds of your health before you had starts again i dont know i mean i didnt have to stop at all i just could easily go away and start. The. House on those not amount to lose is not unlike some of us. Sick of you has this just happened to just cold. Not stopping from disagreement just go straight on stage because stress is about to be in the way things and waiting to dont that is actually not my problem but it laziness obviously is. That was stupid so why do you go on without it no i cannot go on without a soul dumb and as a toddler without the sold. Few in his home city of munich would accuse you of being lazy across 18 months he recently chalked up 13 different operas around the world as well as dozens of concerts and song recitals. Hes stopped by fountains wherever he goes he knows all about them oncet them because he is one himself why not just call funk ever since he was a boy hes back to his home team and by a new name this is perfect on this occasion he reckoned their opponents hamburg asthe were in for a roasting over the oh. I oh. Oh. And he was proud to show off the byron stadium boys are back about is it a place most singers would run a mile from if you come and you think i have to save some ways because i have to go brewster to war or whatever you cant i mean you simply cant i mean its i mean everybody who is into football knows that this boards i mean you cannot stand still you can just silently watch a game. Compared with the 75000 fans in the stadium the Royal Albert Hall in london those a mere 5 and a half 1000 but on television and radio millions more across the world waiting for your own star turn of the last night of the proms the 1st time a german singer had been booked for gold brittania yeah of course i know the melody of course Everybody Knows the river tunnel but i had no clue about the text honestly. All the other nations are. For to try rather than just its quite a. Strong well i mean some of the years ago. He was very particular about the drive to the whole to be sure he arrived after the audience was safely inside he always has fan mail waiting for him in his dressing room but this time a rule britannia veteran had left him a present to set the tone for the kid out of here 30. First. Yeah well next time the Previous Year when i had been the last of the promise my wife would give me a pair of union jack boxer shorts to give me inspiration for the evening and so i thought it might be a nice idea to continue this tradition i realize this may not be the only underwear you received from. Strange is this he excuse me. You know this sort of 5 minutes 4 minutes. Thank you. So much should say oh yeah oh. Yes. All right 6. Oh its her its. Thought through. Its amazing to have all these people standing just like next to you have to the stage its fantastic its intimidating not at all theres a barrier. So they cant climb but. You know its not if if an audience would be intimidating i think you shouldnt be a performer you on folds only in front of the building. Its very boring to see your dress and. What makes somebody stand out is ultimately ultimately is the quality of the voice. But what is the quality of the ways is it just what youre given by the guy upstairs or is it something that is potential that you then develop and hone oh lets not go to this. Because i think thats what it really is and its that and the personality behind the voice that is projected. To grow. Im not. Going to the opera world has a certain stake in his success you know all the big opera houses certainly do and you know you want somebody like that to succeed. At the peak of his success on his part not the opera director christiane aleuts live in munich. Its where he was born in his student singing days the cafe louis told was a regular homes. But for years he was a prophet without on a in his own city or his own opera house i sang a total of 4 performances for performances in 15 years the mystery i mean there really is that because i mean identity in 2000 for me or a couple. Of 2006 in at the met a man and that was it and along with already a less scholar and so on so i mean its every major house again and so on they all realized it except for me and. You know early february his star status was recognized at the Barbican Center in london in what they called the counseling residency tool crystal concerts a public discussion with young singers and 1st stop a song recital that very evening with his pianist deutsch so you guys want to reverse direction where it is on stage because to sit down which i really fear after that you can share yeah you see im not into im going to to prove bruce not for here i mean why would i. For the bar become and for him it was a high wire act especially since hed been out of action for several months with a vocal injury. You know for screw were far short of everything. Sarah. Was with the partnership of Helmut Deutsch on likes to switch from the heroic roles of grand opera to the intimacy of the song recital. Hes fantastic and hes coming to now eat he hasnt it so thats it there. Hes popped it was the hands wonderful on stage thats like jesus christ i was thinking its really exciting hes actually missing tonight yeah i. Guess. Evan you know yes. I mean i thought my pants are falling. But do you know 3 to proper breakfast still lost everybody is waiting to see whether he still deserves that title the worlds great stuff. Oh oh. Oh oh. Oh oh oh lord. The last time cost money and deutsche had performed together was in south america the previous oldest thought was well talisman noticed a vocal problem. At 1st there was no cause for alarm but it turned out to be serious we had to reside in some paulo which was pretty well and very very good at the next one was in. Lima and he didnt feel comfortable is that i dont want to see whats whats wrong. And 2 days later it was but as i said it goes up again it was very very very good and then it goes down again and then his doctor found the reason for this bunch of beacher in saludos they stay bail much of picture. After journeying to High Altitude in the andes much you picchu itself is 2 and a half 1000 metres above sea level the trouble with his voice began it ruled out old performances for a period that in the end lasted 5 months its very simple a tiny little blood vessel popped open and vocal cords vibrate so many times per minute and they touch each other each and every time and if something goes wrong there. It cannot heal on its own when you dont know it and you dont leave it alone meaning when you dont shut up completely. It was stepwise it was not ok you have to rest 3 months it was ok 2 weeks maybe maybe a little bit more and then another 2 weeks and then 3 weeks in no. Hurry. This was just. Popping open several times and also there i was in singing at all just sit dinner table and talk to friends and from one second to the other think what happened next. So. Its just constantly. In does a. Treadmill waiting a to finally find the exit. The. World one positive thing obviously was i was home and i saw my kids much more than last couple of years so it was a nice side effect but still i prefer to have performed a mystery the path to the top hasnt been easy 20 years ago with a punishing shuttle as a young opera singer in germany he found he was horribly in trouble and lost confidence everything i even lost my was on stage during a performance i couldnt sing and into to conduct and looked at me like hey whats going on tonight i cant i couldnt. Cosmin found a new teacher who showed him how to avoid vocal stress by relaxing the roots of his tongue and keeping his larynx down it was the making of him for the 1st time probably i had a reliable instrument even though it was still edgy and it was not round at all hi i could sing on and on and on and wouldnt get tired the day after the 2nd Vatican Council for all wagner he had the opportunity for some maintenance ok there is no easy answer to the shooter. On the street if you feel cool around the corner and that you know its nice to know you to look forward but. Its incredibly physical and you know the muscular work is enormous like a sportsman one is alert to any hint of a physical problem the next one is monday so i meant a quite some here i do know is a little bit there but also where there are any and everything you only see is perceptive enough to realize that the larynx isnt moving his freely as he would like probably the best analogy is a sports car where the handbrake is on slightly and you are just not getting the performance you would expect out of the vehicle and also get you from a to b. But what you are expecting is something that is far more responsive now as soon as we release those tight muscles then the performance returns to the voice work on before yeah as. His reward afternoon tea at his Westminster Hotel where he briefed his press agent thomas forked ahead of the 3rd barbican event the following day. Helper to shanghai was bad cough today i dont know why maybe i overdid it yesterday. But its Getting Better but hes great that guy just great yeah it. Next afternoon was his conversation with students from the Guild Hall School of music but the morning brought unwelcome news for the audience. We wondered like just about steaks we did one from wednesday whether that was cold in the offing is that you see why all this mean following his Health Online for it was just a state issue now is just to pray that your nerves as well for the stressful are songs of monday mondays concert was planned as the climax of the cult one season. The 4 last songs by lee called strauss are a cornerstone of the soprano repertoire nobody can remember them being tackled by a tenor before but at the start of the rehearsal on the saturday it became clear that katherines health was still in doubt. So i shall say hello from your nasa just send me an email with if you mox which we can already put into scored on our parts i take press but he wants to go on so i think its a good sign for tomorrow that he will be here at least. Or yes or at least on on on monday even if. By the time your can read arrived on the monday the cold turned into bronchitis and the bronchitis want. To go. Most difficult situation is for us inside if no i mean hes he so wanted to do it yeah i actually thought he might finally almost force himself today which will. Next time we have to be sure that he wont people i mean fans or or or you know 3 months later and fully recovered and was back in london for his big operatic challenge that is all telling us to do it oh i dont know your protocol are 5 weeks of intense rehearsal and a major psychological challenges one is a musical one guided by the conductor until new partner and the director keith moon. Are tellers spazz with his evil nemesis jago son here by marco for tania. Hammer just to paste the drama without too much happening too soon but its a question that is loud ready which i think. For to david any to. Walk oh. Yes there are slow. Going priorities oh. Oh. The problem is that you know maybe if we get too physical too soon i mean it that thats why i really its about your its words at the moment yeah i think its important to keep your own us stimulated musically dramatically because he can take that little bit of information and then build a house out of it he. Said he was a moron for sure. Jago professes his loyalty. But also tello has to decide whether hes friend or foe. Well. I think jealousy is exactly what yall go is planting and ill tell those mind and let us see it work on you step by step by step the suggestion is that all tell is new wife is having an affair tell who is told but demands proof. Was. Very good if youve done that you should know just as they will come and turn them around. She walks down stage looking beautiful so you and he just hold in there and if he tries to resist it you know just hold him and whisper all the shit into his are all the. Little holes ok go reaching all over. Him a zinc concentration he has amazing concentration on on everything and thats why i think this is one of his big powers this power to concentrate its almost like sand buddhism i think cost money and even money at best broke were rehearsing for a concert and im still done one of the highlights was the great love duet for mottola it came 2 weeks before the operas Opening Night at Covent Garden with a difference a promise. A day its. Supposed to be quite surprising this tuomo s. To come out of nowhere i dont know its still not not true to scare off you know well no no thats why everybody says thats a quarter from the bones on these people they are just people make trouble all the time. Was. Born. And i said absolutely fabulous job. For the Company Guardian tellers brightest besides by the italian is a strong aggressive. 2 the in. The in. The the. 2 they. Are the only need. A. Little but the middle one ball choke the 2nd one yours come. First the. Cue the king in a. Poor old age while you. May. Stop. The whole plot of the teller turns on does damon is handkerchief jago will produce this love token from a husband as the apparent proof of her adultery but 1st as damon has to lose it how is the problem so you dont need to throw it when you can do. Well thats right its i mean thats what it says i know but its i think throw it back to her is what i would do and they are going to just let it go from there it just drops out of your hand. You know. Its a tiny detail but critical to the plot and takes up a quarter of an hour of this rehearsal and you think that was there with hank you know i mean i read both believe that she would take more care because its i mean her its the symbol of the love of her life and everything oh my god actually to her well i tell you what probably throw it down that me. If you do feel hes being argumentative or difficult to really think you know hes searching to find out what this is about a new course you know any directory things you go to all the answers is a fool its funny i love the idea of her just drops out of it but anyway good. Well but if it doesnt it guys stay with it for a day after if it doesnt work because it does its very clear here it is very clear what youre doing its very clear that. The toughest role in this would be enough the most serious. But at the same time kaufman met one of his big challenges. The one concern the bombs he sang the love direct from deep. With its hair raising cries of fill some. Vals you know those 2 veils are just. You know i mean held them half an hour it is sort of a tradition with that if you listen to them now they are recording where he halted for 11 seconds all tenors are like thanks yeah so everybody is that those valves are famous for. For people wanting to show their big voice. But it is in response very credible but i mean its you see i mean i checked the facts and its 14 years ago that are saying the last time here im still. I was always praising this whole because its so beautiful to christie was oh perfect i mean obviously theyre super enthusiastic and every. Photo books. Of the park no. You know we book on stuff you see im. Those super enthusiastic founds almost part of the cost of an entourage which concert promoters and he himself have to money even on stage the adoration can become obsessive theres never been a performance of tosca like that in vienna in 2016. And used to be quite popular that people would ask for an encore but. In this case i was just blown away because i didnt make any arrangements with the conductor. I just realized after a while actually after about what 5 or 6 minutes. Of applause i can i cant get away from that i mean its just and i had to start laughing at this moment where you can see me actually smiling because i thought boy i mean this is this is really happening i cannot stay longer in the park. And of course that that encourage them to even clap more and cheer and im. Really really really wonderful moment this is because i still did not because of who i know would be. To repeat and i love that you know i mean it rarely happens but you know there is going to. Circus in what we do and its great and its a show its a its its a sign of generosity towards the public. The trouble is that on calls are not always popular with all the singers. This is the moment that his love of tosca sung by the soprano angela guild you just you were on stage to rescue him from the firing squad. And now i realize shes not there shes supposed to be here with the guards and. This is one we actually embrace each other and i look over there i look twice i look 3 times i know shes not coming and the conductor is still very confident because he just hasnt looked up. And yeah i have to stop him in some way. You know. Nonarguments upon. The funny thing is you can still hear the violin. Because they are still in hope that it might continue then he realizes there is no way we have to stop it was left to come to explain to the audience in this words fail me im sure its the same for you but now i see the signal that we can continue my apologies we wanted to do it so nicely in a single take.
