What an opera diva learned from the Olympics

What an opera diva learned from the Olympics

In her Lebrecht Interview on BBC Radio 3, Lise Davidsen talked about turning to the mental coach of the Norwegian Olympic team for guidance about motivation and managing her career. ‘I thought, this isn’t for me, this is amazing but I don’t know how to do this any more. She was surprised to hear that I don’t have an off-season. You prepare for the Olympics and they you have a long time off. She talks about swimming in, and swimming out…. how do you get your head of of it. There are things that are way more important than what I do.’

There is an extrordinary candour and humility in Lise’s approach to her art and her profession. Listen here.
