the san francisco opera for the past fifteen years kurt herbert adler yeah well it's very charming as foreign musicals and plowed its highly amusing and we're parked above presentation for several years as much as you have to assemble a cost to it nineteen sixty eight season could i get at making his debut in the sources of this copper met was our musical supervisor and you're out the question for me start studying it i have tried to get together here for many years but somehow it never materialized into know and it's

very much the opera and concert photos of visas reached an agreement if you've always surprised you you know me well yes but so he finds himself as he often those in a new city on a new stage when he has not done before in a language that is not his own commuting from a hotel to work with strangers they yelled and they young are i suppose and these

services go wanted me very much and they were giving me a palm offering me a lot of things before coming to write it that you know that i thought were not interesting to live so we're the last of it was i felt that i didn't know the opera but that i know knew about it and it was a ton of role in the title role on this very interesting point when you select sector on the morning of opening night you actually thinking about the music isn't what he goes first he thinks it will cause his work says wars for half an hour he goes for a walk in chinatown today and looks around the level people walking isn't easy especially when he returns to the hotel relies down

itself it looks over the printed text people allies is again for about forty minutes traditional meaning anyway and we were

so surprised so we're you know now at least see it from san francisco ms mary costello aaron eighty eight error something about it

i assume that's to find out what happened to build the reason for the soul when the soul although is yeah

yeah his reaction to the reaction the director of the ones already contracted to the geneva opera with an arrangement for getting another change one story a man an ambulance and with a stage plays a musical comedies and comic operas all over europe and america a man with a special affinity for this kind of work we are

doing it for an audience and i want to know and we did cheney instructed and marsala idea what i want to report and that is nearly more relaxed and i suppose security improvisation was lots of fun if its within a constructive framework but you cannot argue provides a fine line it is i think he's a nice clean except on earth because he has all the qualities for a first rate not only for its

exceptional opera singer has been tested musicianship was not magnificent politically and the vocal sound is a good actor and a lot of the qualities that are very rare to find that one person yeah well rodney scott has that wonderful natural personality at a personality that once she comes on stage and makes an audience to sit up and look it's a very very natural and affected effervescent you are very much as a thing about works i

think it means as bunny thank you

i was very happy with that you have to deal with it i thought it was a new festival festival what i like is a is a detective who doesn't that doesn't make experiments during june the years he has his is his work already knows exactly what he's going to do i thought he had two wonderful ideas into this in this particular kind of operatic comic mike doonesbury almost an operetta like thing and i felt i thought he worked at an awkward live everybody in it your next one

at this time musical director of center well as in london and very much used to working with up in english but it is currently director of the national arts center orchestra is yet oh yeah we

were it never seems to be enough waits anxiously get on the real state and then when they do the real stage it's worse there is too much to do with not enough people are sometimes too many people to do it and the performers get swallowed up in a massive at all only to reemerge hopefully it now you might think of people nowadays theaters about the saints it's not pleasant it's not pleasant snow people are nervous people are always be because of you know it is of course michael i mean it cost benefit costs money to everybody has to do everybody has to do his job as fast as

possible and it's everything is he's always encourages always it's always washed it's of course there are beginning in the beginning you get just obvious now and the beginning it's nice and quiet but then then then when everybody comes into to make the man and ballet and chorus and the basics of any of these prisons and india changes to something very odd you know this man and we going to start near east first and then we can get it

does at the eighty eight hour movie it had to

be something she hears your voice opera stars are notoriously <unk> struggling with all kinds of tensions was well i don't know exactly but town of attention is a nitrogen at home mom our constant constant the occupation of being in good health and good for him so upset because we are nowadays throwing so much

experiencing a lot of the change of climate and time change things like that i personally know that i have trouble to people live might inform along by the time i vocalize die it i know if i'm more righter not but sometimes there are some treacherous things that could happen during a performance like kind of bland yes yes appears end and then give you trouble england during the performance and that is why you can't do anything just to try to work over at but they are those things happen especially in winter town and it's difficult to work through the difficult to explain why but those the things serious somehow korea at are we are we always

afraid i'm president i'm i'm terrified if i if i get some some kind of phlegm that that gives me trouble in my singing during a performance so we're there those things create tension is back it has gone well but there are two more actually get through and those long pauses between the i knew everyone of course leaves you alone they stay away so use it i love the tide i'm told his bishop as the performance

without a nervous tension and excitement and caribbean could be so somehow we do it i mean the thing is all right in the anything goes well imax during the performance comes out of attention somehow i was out in the work you and john still need a day of

the eu or cr you are these koreans

oh oh eight belles nice nice the

pope the next morning the chronicle says they use one that has a great expectation you'll win for one is so overwhelmed as to what a war criminal blank the examiner local isn't nothing less than staggering traditions you know i do and it of course for the clothes close people around the idea why for instance must many times as difficult to understand what the reason is one question that i had i just can't explain is impossible guns to

question why you know it's very hard for me to explain because sometimes that it someday you know one hears down without any reason actually it's because of all the merits i think that it's quite difficult for the us then supposedly argues we are we are out most of us i think are our age to go into a show when they went to work or what it is is it's an end in question we're not at least i personally i don't want to talk about so much alone too low rumble on my problems myself you know and that is huge that is different or for the others the other party to have two new and i think an onion and i'm also that i mean it i try not to show it so much

you know not to be such as stock because i know obviously other part and his wife stacy and nine more days in san francisco or ego is probably on the low voice mail i was getting along and i was frantically telephones and press releases and on that particular day that i came to the office to meet with the classic of their lives it's like a performance by i of

it's it's hard work to the whole war to the news mandy i never thought that though i should have the greatest voice in the world it a law that i my thinking was that the voice i i have a i have to i have to work on develop in order to in order to make as much as

good music out of it as possible that was maya maya craig also say mai mai a lot and i was then that meant to me are constant work and i think singing is an aunt and one is no one can ever arrive to perfection there is there is nothing nothing but nothing no perfection in art you can always work on something so i was thinking in those thinking always in those offended terms of developing what nationality and of bringing together is swedish his family settled here in stockholm and he grew up here it was a soprano on the local russian orthodox church and went to the soldier a lot in high school

and the covering every alcoholic and it has no jury duty and then went to work in a bank teller now i woke up one day and had a ten a voice and very high of course with no schooling but to buy the ice i sang and indian in church and the lawn several years without without without any is really at all i never thought i would make a deal i started to have take singing lessons just because it interested in the i wanted to to study why god made his professional debut on april eighth nineteen fifty to hear at the royal opera house in stockholm he was written up the

high notes which which always conduct is an opera directors are looking for somebody who were who can sing difficult parts with ease and without cracking down on a high note and and creating problems for more of the conductor that's one thing i noticed thing is is the time of the yo this sound the overtones the un mission there isn't there should be beauty of of sound which of course also has to be worked on and then mime with the morgue the more technical technical skill a singer has the more beautiful his voice on her voice gets now i had maybe that

slavic the russian quality can't be a soft quality of a ten a voice so this at a limitless all the voice that appeals to many on and third thing is of course the musicianship there's also a talent and the original talented i have i always ahead i'm great facility and learning things that never had problems and musical details like finding notes and so what i i you know i had no problems in that respect the gutters keep an apartment in new york are building a home in switzerland won his bases here his mother's all in the stockholm suburb year he works on his concert recording material board that would keep him busy when the opera's season is
