For sure, because you also have de delivery fund. Its not like you can rest on your laurels and that whatever you will do will sell, so to speak, that people will just with i had a whole filters on what as with us on how it works.

But because his profession gives you such tremendous feelings of happiness, obviously it carries you from one wave of energy to the next and you get the feeling. Everything just happens effortlessly and hot. The sca but there are worse. Thanks. And i like it about her covered a gipsy, lima alpha i knew enough, even a Eunice Kaufman didnt come into the world a fully fledged tennor. How did you build that relationship with your voice . When did you find your voice and think that, hey, i can do something with this. I mean, come on, man, man does is set off. I know its like entering into an arranged marriage. It is, and its an instrument that i cant leave at home because no matter where i go day or night in bed, whenever i know if i always have it with me and have to take into consideration to some extent his name most. But its very important to still live your life to take joy and daily life, even though youre always carrying your voice with you so to speak on. Otherwise, you cant play the characters on stage that you want to know here. That because you dont know yourself what life is about money table vice muslim highs. Ah Eunice Kaufman, grew up in a pretty regular family. His father worked for an insurance company. His mother was a kindergarten teacher. They went musicians, but they did love music. Kaufman became interested in singing at an early age and later studied in munich a global career wasnt really on the cards rushed to the end for a loft as a student. You as a happy go lucky guy, thing in there. He had a 1000 different interests. Sports and cooking and of course, music and technique and so on this, im at the doctor. He wasnt an extraordinarily diligent or industrial student. In other words, organ fleiss he go, i think us to then to us most machines are oh, his 1st engagements were in sa, broken stuttgart and heidelberg, early on. Kaufman embodied the operatic hero and was also idolized in real life. His use at the zurich opera house from 2001 to 2009 were formative his work began to take him around the world. Milan new york, london and to the big festivals, including the iconic by rote, with lohengrin. Ah, and to salzburg, of course, with vidalia Eunice Kaufman, took on the great tenor rolls and was internationally celebrated. Ah, yes. Soon. Clubby fees is incredibly versatile in terms of his repertoire. Withdraw skip confusing as her as adept in german, french and italian rep constantly over whether its opera, or leader. Hes just as versatile stylistically confident and musically vivacious in everything he does the same thing. And the dude i think the good ost oh as keep so foolish, goofy dame to common via language. Theres so many levels to pass through to arrive at what we call singing. And at the end of the day, i know thats the essence of it. Zorn, singing has to become 2nd nature us agency and it has to be one of those things we do without giving it a 2nd thought phase. Can we speak without thinking about it after we breathe without giving it any thought, monotony, or singing as to become equally automatic . Mathis wasnt good also. And when it does sing and you have the freedom to go on stage, and without thinking about technique, you just interpret and inhabit the role you are late to put in. Ah, its early evening in naples, final preparations for the opening, a concert or underway. Naples music lovers gather on the square near the t. R. T rowe san carlos. Eunice kaufman is backstage, having a last chat with friends and colleagues before the performance. Ah, its one of his signature roles. The egyptian commander read amiss from aida. Ah ah ah ah thought about what a performance how was it to you because of the really height the alpha was so hot for for me i will be homozygous stagen we got into it and at the end we just drank and sweat and drank and swear to pick it was perfect. Yeah. And like a visit to the solder and the opera at the same time. Ha, hes been on it on. I still feel swept away. You to in the oprah, you just lost your lover. You died yourself, america . Yeah. My girl. Well ha, next, next week. Another oh, come along. Its like, oh no. Thats just the way it is. Go. Im incredibly into an incredibly involved emotionally. Boy via the moment its over and ill, its over. It was from either 4 by just one mill. About what happens if singing is no longer possible from there. Ive already experienced a situation where you had to take a break for several months because your voice needed arresting from it. How did you deal with that on what did you worry, that youd have to start that your voice would never come back in, but i need to read her. This is ne, im for clovis true human. Its never easy to overcome a vocal crisis or vocal difficulties unscathed. It cuts especially unscathed, at the psychological our, that for i am, because youre so deeply connected to your voice, the as theyre english. These are shed in the far end because you not a huge amount of confidence to be able to draw on your voice in front of thousands of spectators in alagood and height. The moment you lose trust in your voice and games. And it becomes very difficult to stay relaxed and you perform with e c. Or should you leave lockout sublime on a leash too. But in so again, its very unpleasant because you want to sing mom, how to class actively promised your friends. You would, mon, my love perform, i love being in front of an audience design, or that makes it all the more frustrating when you have to wait. But you also know that if youre patient about, sooner or later you will be able to perform again. You could do it, hell have your voice back. Justice before coming me to update on habit. Said the instrument, anita wondered whether that was the old Eunice Kaufman again on stage up to the vocal crisis, which might look out if you remember that i sang. That 1st performance as i always say with the handbrake on, by the hope you took 2 or 3 performances before i had my confidence. Then thank goodness, knock on wood. Whereas the italian say talk up arrow. Its working just fine again from city through the im on why i dont what . The me your daughter traders. Oh boy. Oh, i see the apartment is 2 of those opera is often such a great drama often that you will see what kind of drama queen and your personal line and admin lim. Glover. Nice position close to that. Im on and i wouldnt say that i love drama. Its been a month, im gonna, i like to have time for myself. And often i find myself running late because i still had something to do here or there somewhere. Another us and each tub i can say good on my able to switch between my professional and private life, very easily enough team to stick for bias. As soon as the performance is over, i feel totally free. And that helps you come down from the high warned of all this to be the id say that of all the procedures going from one of the less complicated ones to oddity opening on the skipped to didnt. And father and son. Oh, this is also how his friend and former teacher helmet do each sees it, which is a pianist and professor whos known kaufman for almost 30 years. Have been off to that, as ive often admired him, is incredible discipline, or hes invited by friends who bore to really rare and excellent wine just for him. Hell apologize and say that he cant drink because hes singing the next day to the light is seen him long if you need to and he really wont look the see he someone who, when he has a certain job was do, well stick by the rules. Hes set for himself no matter what temp taishan might come along the way. So thats crucial if you want to carry a like his dismissal. And so he came over good at an opera, is considered a liter aloof. Some say, why put so much into a pro when we have a climate catastrophe pandemic and was on, why do we need oprah vine sticking . Yeah, i think of each to go to the portal. Well, i wouldnt say that its more important than putting bread on the table for you to k. Opera is elite, it does cost a lot of money and its not a form of art. Its created once and then is available wherever, you know, like the visual arts who stayed some like like at the same time city and its such a fascinating art form. It is a video video, otherwise it wouldnt have lasted over the centuries. My can even this, it allows you to dream yourself into a whole nother world. Teaser, was he, the music has an emotional impact or, and thats something really fascinating. It wasnt moving. Yeah, it was the 1st scene and isnt after we were this for . Im sorry i didnt catch it, especially in todays society, which is rather cold. I storm on focus on achievement and profit profit oscar leaked ist and very banal, swarms of recreation. He likes to art if you even want to call it that gifts tighten them up, knows all men and cant defend opera because like so many others are under. Before yoga ive been fired up by a passion and a fascination for the beauty of this hockey. Not so dizzy. Yeah, he sure in height. 40 seconds. I love it so much that i cant imagine a World Without it. And evade on as he to can is i can vision might, has a clara theme little drama along the way by that of like in me land at less galaxy where you sang ness and dorman hob and somehow it didnt go to plans. If god clapped that, ah, it is wanted if you would have money. Well, were all, only human and not machines you hadnt missed one be behind. Oh for myself that i cant always see that everywhere. All be at the very top of my game goes quizzically and mentally. Or even when i am completely focused, i can get mixed up or be distracted for a couple of seconds. Hospice have Something Else on my mind that you feel barzyk and suddenly i realize the wrong words are coming out of my mouth. Sure. Not my infection fixed in the kayla ah, ah ah. 7 7 7 my, sometimes i ask myself how you do it, doesnt it get boring at some point to perform the same roles at the same places acting as though its all new to, or maybe it really does feel that way. Its casanova. Its been gorgeous in in fits. Higgins and i sung, and more than 40 different opera is altogether. I met a moment there about 15 to 20 in my repertoire, colemans institutions. Vincents vantage, of course, if youre always doing the same things with the same colleagues under the same circumstances, it can become rather routine up to speed up the experience of everything being new and exciting can turn into the nightmare of everything being always the same. I got a very lucky because i do get to enjoy a lot of variety and when i sake, so it might be one on 11 i i think unice kaufman to be quieter and outgoing. For example, its a rehearsal isnt going the way he wants. This is the same man who can perform the final scene of common in a way where you think all he has to do is perform. He doesnt even have to sing and it would still be wonderful. I think that barked the gun. Thats part of who he is or that enormous temperament. The, this is, this is own guardian, the with the, the the, the, the, the, the, the corona virus. These ton of silence. If youve been to listen to conclusions, its of course i was in a very fortunate situation. And i was, i have a house in the middle when i lived there with my family, we have a big garden. So does elaine from dust. So having to stay at home really felt like a holiday hanford. I shopped a so i and im also doubly fortunate in that. Ive had another baby on my, my baby with my 2nd wife, him to become mama, which is a wonderful addition to our family. Loved us, i english. So this time of turning my focus inward this and it, for his contemplation a physicist busy also had a very Positive Side for megan in for she. But many of my colleagues in different fields have been hit very hard by this forest downtime associates, one of and theyre still suffering its impact on keynote via other want ally. The article can hit disproportionately hard in this entire situation. We found ourselves in these counseling comstock for Eunice Kaufman and helmet deutsch and enforced break during the pandemic provided time to finally do some recording. 00 gosh, thunder or our of bliss is the 1st album ne majoring lockdown. But however enjoyable a project share between 2 old friends, a studio recording cant replace alive performance. Are you good . Oh, the return to the stage finally came in vienna in the full, despite rising infection rates and the city having been declared a risk area. Unit kaufman held his 1st opera appearance since the corona virus outbreak. There these don carlos at the vienna state opera. I her oh i ah, oh eunice councilman has a special relationship with the austrian capital and hes just recorded an album in vienna. Venus understood the busy, at the end of the city, ive grown to live for vivid. Theres no other place in the world where more composers of left, there are so much music about the city, but these are stuff that has its positive and its negative sides. Its not much of a laugh and joke about it. Were sarcastic about it. But in the end, its clear that everyone loves this city. I live and many have paid tribute to it. In so many different areas and melodies on. So i picked a few of them with the option to kind of also, i guess, often. Oh news ah ah ah ah. Gone from lets go up to the pinnacle one more time in zang i will ignore loomed these mountain linen said operating tennis, how long do you hope to stay up . They are in hay yet. If i have a viscous state does, if ive come to realize how much i enjoy just living my life on earth get added, wished inside. And during this time, under the corona virus, good back to me. Ive also seen how many lovely things there, or you can spend your time doing. Its on a tight on function. So perhaps i will end up performing let you see it and it was meaning, but im far from saying good. Im going to stop altogether. This is alicia knock bite tough on and i do think that there will come a time when i leave the stage and, but thats a good way in the future. When i does, it took over the next 10 years at least. I imagine ill continue along the same course as each of them fall. Vasa, im done gifts, and then i might end up doing Something Else for a few years and i could potentially, i will quit on tallies optional. So because i cant imagine being on stage until im 90, bit annoyed fish. Its inevitable at some point. Even fun content continuing on would only serve to one, do everything youve accomplished over the as i start fresh butte and would also be sad because youd show that you didnt know any other kind of life. But the stage is yet does one can i dont want that to be said of me and on turn to switch to he. Me actually not. Sorry lesson eunice. Cough man, thanks very much. Which way youre very welcome. I am on one. Yeah. I ah oh, yeah, now its finally time for an italian dinner as the sun goes down. Oh, the naples. Oh, a bit of light heartedness in turbulent times. Ah ah ah ah ah.
