Nicola Beller Carbone, de profundis

"K" magazine that comes with the Sunday Edition of the greek newspaper Kathimerini featured a very interesting interview of Nicola Beller Carbone that the german-spanish soprano gave to Sotiris Kakisis during her visit in Athens for a run of Toscas in March/April.

"In Spain, during the 80´s, just after the dictatorship, everything was crazy and unpredictable. I was living in Madrid then and my house got bombed by the ETA while i was sleeping, the window that was just above my bed was shuttered. I lived all this period that one can see in the Pedro Almodóvar movies. It was like a post-dated 60's. I ´ve lived a lot in my life and i don't need these things any more. Sex, drugs and rock'n'roll !"
