00:28I think that all of us are in the music, but also the energy and energy that she has in
00:40the area.
00:42I don't know how to do it live, but even through the recordings of her, she can understand the idea
00:50of her.
00:51When I play areas, especially in the Italian Belcanto, I always fall into that and I'm excited by her.

01:30opera.
01:31He was the one who wrote a symphony for me and started my career.
01:36He was the one who wanted to listen to me while I was still a student.
01:39I was the one who called me and said that I have arrived at the same time.
01:43I was the one who was the one who made a project as a child as a child, as a
01:46friend of the other.
01:47Then I got to go to the other family.
01:49I made many interviews and I made a transition to both of them.
01:52And like in career of every single college, the one was the other.

02:11family life and the demands of the international career she has built over the years.
02:15At this stage in her life, she is trying to spend more time in Greece with her children
02:19and avoid taking on large scale opera productions.
