To see this beautiful opera house empty, any empty opera house,
gives me the sense of sadness, [B] the sense of abandon, the sense of death.
I am generally the last one to leave the dressing room,
and I, [Bb] because I always take the bath there, I always like wash [Db] myself before I leave the theatre.
[Bm] [Bb] Being the last, I always found the [Ab] stage empty, and thinking then just one hour before,
it was full of [Bb] incredible [Ab]
action, made me feel that [N] something can immediately finish like that
and forget, and [Gb] it's a kind of sadness.
[Bb] [E]
[G] [C] I am never totally alone.
[B] In the opera,
[Bb] I have the light, the costume, the [G] colleague, the [Eb] orchestra, the conductor of course,
and I have [Ab] the personaggio [B] I am interpreting.
I [Dbm] don't think that [Ab] I am there, I am just doing
[B] something in which I really [B] believe deeply, and in which I hope to be convincing, [G]
and to
make the public think [Ab] that I am real.

[Ab] To
[G]
[Bb] be a great painter, I think is one of the most incredible experiences that can happen.
You paint [Ab] when you want, you do where you want the things, you do the [C] subject you want,
you are [Ab] somebody who creates something, [B] not necessarily copying, you can invent something.
[Bb] I am just a very poor [Gb] executore.
[B] I do something that is already written, I do music,
it's already written.
Years ago, I tried to make an interpretation at the [Gb] best,
but I still, I am not a creative [E] person in that terms.
I can [Ab] create atmosphere, I [Bb] can create
happiness, probably more than a [B] painter, but for the ego, for the spirit, I think
the painter [Db] is certainly much better.
For people who knows me 30 years,
they say I never change in public [Ab] or in private.
[Bbm] The only thing I am inflexible and I change is
the [Bb] day of the performance, one hour before the performance, until the performance is over.
Because then I become a serious, very severe professional [Ab] singer.
Then I don't want to hear
[B] anybody, the joke, I'll finish, every enjoyment is going to happen probably on the stage, but this
is postponed at the end of the performance.
During the performance, one hour before,
I become very serious.
[G] Enrico Caruso, greatest [Bm] tenor of all the [B] time.
Caruso was a [Bb] symbol.
[Abm] There is something inside his voice [E] so large, so incredible,
[A]
[Ab] human in term, even a physical effect, really make [Bb] me tell you for [C] sure that he will [N] be
never surpassed for anyone in the world.
People who try to imitate him, they fall down and
they were [B] killed.
[Ab] They really destroyed so many [Bb] career people who did try to [N] imitate this
incredible organ he did possess.
Probably he destroyed the organ himself.
In fact,
[C] it did not [Bb] went on so long like [G] it should have done.
It was a tenor where he was singing
sometime two [Bb] or three or four or five performances a week [N] at the Met.
Then you can imagine the great
tension in these vocal chords.
He never stopped to, for one moment, to save his voice.
[Bb]
[B]
Oh,
what incredible voice, what incredible line, what incredible man, what incredible inspiration.
I consider myself, of [Db] course, [Ab] a man of great privilege because like somebody said,
God kissed my vocal chord, but I think God kissed my [B] soul in [Bb] terms to make me [N] enjoy life
in general.
This is something that [Bb] very few [Eb] people have and for this I thank God very much.
