Franco Vassallo: When I play an opera character I feel a bit like an archaeologist who unearths and rediscovers the life, loves, sensations and emotions of a human being who lived in another age.

Flaka Goranci: The mind is on top of everything. You need to have strong nerves, a great concentration and confidence in order to conquer the stage.

J’Nai Bridges: What I’d say is that all you can do is to really immerse yourself in the music and think about what you want to communicate. You can’t control the outcome but you can control yourself though.

Randall Scotting:When a singer can achieve that connection, and your technique is in service of the music and drama, that’s mastery.

Edgardo Rocha: I truly believe that competition is with oneself. There are many singers who can sing the same as me. But at the same time there is no one like myself, no person can be exactly the same as another person.

Valentina Anzani: Opera Meet

Antonio Poli: Opera is and will remain immortal: it allows us to tell everything with an universal language and absolutely wonderful musical themes.

Serena Sáenz: Train & be active as much as you cand! Being fit makes such a difference in singing! The cardiovascular activity on stage is very high, even more nowadays. As much as I prepare my voice, I take care of my body!
