Even in the most beautiful music there are some silences, which are there so we can witness the importance of silence.

The world is full of many beautiful voices; I will perform with many of them. I love women's voices.

Music is able to make a person dream. When you dream, you dream of something good, something beautiful, and when you dream, you always dream of yourself better than you are.

Probably the first time I left Italy was to travel by train to Lourdes. I went with my mother and my grandmother - who was a very religious person - so it was a pilgrimage of sorts. I remember it as a very intense, but beautiful experience.

It's always beautiful to sing with other great voices. I like voices in general. It's a big privilege to have great singers next to me.

I know that my passion is for opera, but sometimes I like also to sing songs, because there are many beautiful melodies.
