The best way for me to escape from a chaos of feelings and/or from the everyday-wars we all have is singing...I´m just a "freetime-opera-singer" ( learning a lot by watching your Masterclasses by the way), but to me jumping into a role and just being the character for one piece of music allows me to forget my "small life" for a higher purpose, which is a way to free myself, reput the feelings in another context and using the music to let them flow out. Music is also a way to understand history and a chance to learn from similarities between the wars and ways to peace in past and present. I´ll be in Halle to hear you, I just can´t wait!!!
