| 31 Dec 2021 | A mindset and practices leading to a happy and fulfilling life: soprano, Serena Sáenz | 00:50:06 | |
If someone would ask me to describe this episode, I would say two words - beauty of thought and gratefulness. On the last day of 2021, I am sharing this spiritual, but also very down to earth conversation with soprano from Barcelona Serena Sáenz. Serena is among those remarkable people who I have been lucky to meet while living and studying in Barcelona. Little did we know that in 5 years since then, Serena will be singing with the world famous conductors including Daniel Barenboim and that during her first season as a member of the Staatsoper Berlin International Opera Studio, Serena will be asked to jump in as Pamina for the opening night of Yuval Sharon’s production of Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute). I am so thrilled to be able to bring you this conversation which, I believe, is the best fit to positively end this year and gracefully start the new year. Enjoy and Happy New Year!
