When a young artist is ready, one has to bring him into the limelight. |
Should it happen tomorrow, I would fall to my knees to give thanks to God for such a career. |
I feel at home in an orchestral score. |
But enough joking. I am singing. This is all my life. |
The high note is not the only thing. |
This season, over eight productions, I am presenting four young tenors. |
The public is a part of my real life. |
Honestly, if the public still wants to hear me in some works, I have to go down a half step. |
The press regularly proclaims my ambitions and my financial demands. |
When facing symphonic orchestras which have played some works five thousands times, you have nothing to do. |
Let us be clear: I take ten times more money for a concert than for an opera performance. |
Singing becomes a form of therapy. |
This circus games aspect has existed since the beginning of my career. |
I then realized that I could never be satisfied again with the mere natural charm of my voice, that I had to constantly paint when singing, melting all the colors, expressing reds and blacks that had to be less primary but bursting with subtly colored combinations. |
If money was my only motivation, I would organize myself differently. |
I attended less than two years of Conservatory in Mexico City. |
I feel like a little boy who is constantly offered new toys. |
Every three days on average, I am alone on stage, facing the public. |
