speech when he is at home he raises me the

tense

the neighbors every time we are
rehearsing one of our scenes in
our house gets to put an intense

recognized tenor
he is the equivalent of a medalist

I’m a soprano also an opera singer
and I want to tell you a little about your
story I want us to go like this in
the time and that you have a photo
of a child receiving a placid cedé
Sunday
I had never heard of no opera
I knew music receives this gift what
puts more hours attached to television
watching that awesome voice singing
well I met my husband in a
audition, I’m going to tell you a little bit
how is the environment the opera in my
country we do not have a tradition of
the opera for the opera in my country there was
an armed conflict true 30 years
during that time there was no production
operatic between the 60s and the 90s and the 97
coincidentally at that time there was no
nothing of productions and it was in 1997
that someone came back to the
productions and start to see a little
of opera in my country there is an opera here
there are one a year come companies
foreigners and they use some
local artists however there is no
where to develop then
come I was graduating the
college
and I see in the newspaper that there is a
audition I used to sing since I was little
I liked to sing however I did
musical theater and other kind of things I
I did not know anything about opera but I
I knew an area that had taught me
teacher who told me look at this you
It would be nice to try to sing, to sing it
and well I prepared it with an Italian
appalling
I introduced myself I got up courage I grabbed my
recorder with my cd and I showed up at the
audition was more excited could
sing that by the graduation of my
graduation from the university on that day
in my house was a great lunch with
my whole family and well I was in the
super emotional theater
to give my recorder I put it was the
jury there and I started singing
and I saw that everyone stayed
in silence it seems like good to me
I thought two thoughts joined my
mind I said oh I’m singing divine and
is the most impressive talent that they have
seen in this world or flat not
I’m doing supermario finished
to ruin
well it was the second truth I
I found out that the auditions were not done
opera with a tape recorder that neither
nothing what I had done but I left
winning does not win or the main role
for that opera but I did win there
my husband was in the middle of acting and everything
we became friends and well I saw yo
when I met him when I met him
He was a boy full of dreams and full
of wanting to outdo him he sang me
I taught what I was learning and
well we started to fight together so that
he could in my country we do not have a
platform where we develop as they
I had counted and we started to see the
ways he could develop
because he has an extraordinary talent
now
and we started to fight together we started
make proposals and recitals for
fundraising were very few
people who supported us all over the world
he told us but opera but here if you want
Opera
what are they going to do about what they are going to live and
sing music music is not a
true profession better do another
thing true and that was door after door
we played we closed it good total
we managed to make some family members and
friends made us a donations goes
his first contest we all followed a
master prepares a body and soul ‘
train hard and good you are that believes that
wins first place in this contest
returns other theaters do not start to
listen they call it to make another
audition of a theater that is
very prestigious is going to audition and good
things suddenly enters the program
young artists of the metropolitan opera
and they give him a scholarship to study in you
learn at the julliard school of music
NY
life changed us completely from a
system where there was no opera in
where we did not have support of anything
we go to new york and
we found an incredible world where
where opera and all art has
a wonderful structure where
be able to develop because I tell you this
story because that child who received the
cid and placid sunday and dreamed of
one day singing with him is my husband and
is not accompanying us today because today
precisely has a function with him in
the opera of the angels for me is a
inspirational example of overcoming
and how music transformed a life
he is an incredible success story and of
a life transformed music too
It changed my life gave me me me
sense and a direction and that hearing
it opened the doors for a world
incredible I found the first
person who was going to be my partner
adventure and with him the one that supports me today
to be able to carry out this project
whole and this dream together that
we have to be able to develop
opera and music in my country
our project is called beloved art
We are founding a national company
of opera and we are convinced that the
music transforms lives now that
we passed the stage of that struggle and
get to a place and be recognized and
good and have some impact on
people
we want to return all those
blessings that we have received
and be able to impact the lives of others like
ours was changed impacted I read
a super cute phrase of Pope John
Pablo second he made a letter to the
artists and there says that anyone who
have a flash of manifestation
artistic either as a singer as
musician as architect have the
obligation not to waste that talent
but to develop it and put
service to others
when I read that sentence it was like
true and it’s true because we
we are literally being instruments
we received a talent and our
responsibility is to develop it and
put it for the growth of others
we did not have that opportunity to
to support us and help us
develop those opportunities for real
that nobody created in us nobody nobody
gave nothing for us however
we believe that dreams if they are
able to perform and good we put together
this group we have been with the
project was until last year that a
group of important entrepreneurs of
guatemala wanted to invest in our
project and good we made our first
full opera
it was an event in our country
because as I told you in 2006 it was
the first one that was the audition where
I met my husband was the first opera
that showed up after a lot of
A long time had not been used
national theater to make an opera
complete and good we went
Now we resume that wave
we are young a new and good project
with dear art we were able to do this work
complete , more than 300 were used
people and we gave him the opportunity to more
of 100 100 artists so that they could
ride this event was true a
Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi brought
coaches now support us and teachers of
Metropolitan to train the
artists and we created a choir an orchestra
and a dance a body dance for the
work was the event of the year our
theater is one of the largest in
Central America has two thousand two thousand
seats was full full people could
receive this gift in music I’m
incredible all the funds raised are
they went to charity they could already
with the two operas that we have made
they were able to read more than four
thousand people through those of the
foundation in which we are supporting with
these presentations was recorded to the
opera and it was played on television
national and more than 6 million people
they could receive culture and music
from your televisions believe me
and that impact we are making to
through music has filled us with
such great satisfactions and has been a
super cute way so all these
these people who are working with
we are doing
also a part of social development
where are we going to hospitals to
sing for the patients we have 800
patients in each of the two
public hospitals of guatemala and
we believe that music has the power is
a powerful tool to heal for
to develop a child’s self-esteem
what can you polish that has a
instrument will never appeal to the
violence nor do other things because
the music teaches you many values of
belonging to discipline and it gives you a
Largest meaning
music can transform lives as
I said to us transformed us
we are transforming our environment
many of the singers who work with
we have a case of a girl who
is that he lives in a sensitive area of
the city of guatemala that is full of
violence and good she has transformed
through his life through music
she had also left school and
well the music gave him an address
gave a discipline and gave him the
necessary motivation to be able to follow
her studies now she is a
university and good is a singer
also and is one of the most
potential have and we have people who already
they are not youngsters but that
They have the talent and the desire to
overcome and
through singing they have found that
motivation they got into classes they’re
studying the languages and it ‘s amazing the
impact that music can have on me
I want to tell you I want to plant them
a little seed in your heart is that the
music and art are very important don
Bosco said that a house without music is
as a body without a soul and a city and
one and a country without art and without culture is
that is a body without soul no music
you get to the heart it hits you either
who want to be musicians
professionals or who just want
developing your talents is one thing that
nobody is going to be able to take away from me the
music gives me makes me happy this
we are doing for other people
and the impact that is multiplying
what is being done with this fills me
of happiness and good because you can
apply to all areas that in those in
which you are developing
true of being able to do this with so much
passion to overcome you
art and be able to put it at the service of
others then yes yes
I urge you that if you have
Some companion or some talent that
you are developing what
support that
that encourage them to continue sharing
this to others that if someone has a
event that please pay their
entrance because with that they can help
that the industry is mobilized to
there is a market and a demand and every
more and more events where they can be
present these artists and you can
develop an entire industry that
support your peers that you know
encourage you to start learning a
musical instrument because he’s going to
fill with satisfaction and well that’s what
I want to find the possible ones
sponsors also of events
cultural the return on your investment goes
to be in making better citizens
best people of people made
happy people who can receive this
it is this experience that is going to be
unparalleled go to the theater go see a
opera enjoy the talents of the
others is a communication thing and it’s
one thing that they will not be able to replicate from
no other way so we

but we are fighting for the
opera but if I can tell you what changes
lives that if it transforms lives the music
