It is strange, but nobody is shocked when pop singers make a fortune in the space of two years.
But I won't deprive myself of singing opera as long as my voice follows.
When I was a young man, I was a baritone, very far from possessing the whole range of the tenor then.
I was married at 16, a father at 17 and divorced at 18.
I attended less than two years of Conservatory in Mexico City.
When working with an orchestra, you never spend more than 20 minutes per recording session.
In the last century, everybody was singing lower.
Should it happen tomorrow, I would fall to my knees to give thanks to God for such a career.
With my personal preparation at the piano, I can afford to hum at half voice.
Don't you think it astonishing that, at 58, I am still working at improving my career?
If money was my only motivation, I would organize myself differently.
This season, over eight productions, I am presenting four young tenors.
I have always studied my parts with the orchestral score and not with the piano reduction.
I will prove that a great conducting career is expecting me.
I feel at home in an orchestral score.
The public made me and then encouraged me for many years, and my future even now depends upon it.
Honestly, if the public still wants to hear me in some works, I have to go down a half step.
The public is a part of my real life.
