Top soprano: Why I have moved to Vienna

Top soprano: Why I have moved to Vienna

The Lithuanian-born singer Asmik Grigorian is opting for mid-life change.

She tells Kurier:

KURIER: With Elisabetta you are once again making your debut in a major role, and you have had a lot of these recently. How do you actually cope with that?

Asmik Grigorian: I don’t know! I do and do and do, and sometimes I stop and think: How did I actually manage that? I feel like I’ve reached a limit in my life, or rather: I’ve planted a garden for 20 years that is now bearing a lot of fruit. But instead of harvesting it, I keep planting. It’s time to re-plan my life, because it’s become difficult for me.

In what way?

AG: It’s so much! I’m starting to lose a bit of interest in the things I do. That’s a signal that something needs to change! Because I always want to give 100 percent of myself, to the audience, to myself and to art. I still feel the joy in the things I do. But I’m putting pressure on myself and I need to change a few things.
