José van Dam interview
This Month's issue of La Scena Musicale (http://www.scena.org) features an interview with bass-baritone José van Dam who will be receiving an honourary doctorate from the University of Montreal in mid-October.

>>   It is refreshing to hear a singer say he is still learning to master his voice - especially when he is already 60, has been performing for 40 years and has a discography of over 140 recordings to his credit. "The voice evolves. I think the more you sing, the more it evolves," said Belgian bass-baritone José van Dam days before the opening of Debussy's Pélleas et Melisande at the Metropolitan Opera, his first appearance there in twelve years. "I was 30 before I was really sure of my technique, and there are things that I can sing more easily now than 10 years ago." ... <<
The legendary Canadian soprano Emma Albani is also profiled.

As always, the latest articles from Opera News are indexed at La Scena Musicale Online http://www.scena.org. Angela Gheorghiu is the October feature.

Enjoy,
