Anna spake to the Daily Telegraph about everything but her former -- now disgraced -- buddy Rolando Villazon.
Anna on the tricky art of finding the right costumes:
"It's me who is singing on stage, not them. I saw one premiere and the
main soprano was nice-looking but they made her look horrible. And I
thought, I just want to kill that lady who made these costumes. Then the
costume designer came on stage to take a bow in an elegant black dress. You
know? For herself she didn't create that crap."
Anna on not missing the stage:
"I didn't sing at all for almost half a year and I was not missing it at
all," she says. "But it was very fast for me to come back.
Unfortunately my first performances were coming together with a very bad
cold. I could not cancel because I thought people will say, 'Oh she's just
scared!' Or 'It's a disaster after the baby, she's lost the voice.' I came
to the theatre with a feeling that I might not finish the performance.
Because Lucia is a no-kidding role. But somehow you just take all the forces
from your body to make it."
