Abstract
Develop a character, delve into the skin, into the psyche, what the character looks like,how they speak, how they react, what their worries and fears are, what their joys, their goals and their greatest desires are; is not easy. It takes time to think, to observe, to read, to search, to wait. For a singer the search is twofold. We must look for the dramatic but also musical character, as expressed in music in style and vocal technique.In our professional life, time passes in different ways, preparation times are often very short, not to mention substitutions, where many times you have to jump into a production that is already in progress, without time to think, just to do. It was a desire I had for a long time to rediscover my own process, to dedicate time to scrutinize details where I had not been able to before. To observe my path as a student again and have the time to savor learning new things.Violetta seemed like the biggest challenge of my career and I definitely wanted to go to another level. Violetta, a door, a key to develop my strengths as an art and stage professional. The most difficult thing I could find, the strongest challenge that a soprano can face... I put it at the centre of my time and my research.
