Opera - We love singing

<p>Music, and more particularly singing is always with us. A certain day we may find ourselves moody and with a melody from La forza del destino playing over and over again in our head. Or maybe we feel like a superhero as we've doing great at work and then we feel like Calaf solving the 3 riddles that Turandot has proposed. First, we would like to build a place where we can talk about our passion for singing in a positive way. There is already too much of those toxic places where we criticize endlessly the minimum error of a given singer. We need more places where we can be respectful and still express our differences, as art is perception and no one perceives art equally to one another.Our second proposal is to come and share, both Katia and I are pretty sure there are a million questions you have always asked yourself about singing and as singers are sometimes not the most approachable people, well we hope can answers some of those questions!! <br>We'd be glad to receive your comments at <br>operawelovesinging@gmail.com</p>
