Pappano says there is no place like an opera house when the audience explodes with pleasure, although that is more common abroad because many attendees in London are keen to get home.

“I have a theory about this. British audiences … a lot of people have to travel long distances when they leave the opera house. It is not like Vienna, where it is a small area and the applause went on for half an hour. This would never happen in this place … it is short and very intense here.”

Sir Antonio Pappano says: ‘There are other ways to express yourself – don’t clap.’

Interview: Adam Schoenberg, Composer

Adam Schoenberg

What have been the greatest challenges of your career so far?

As composers, we are always looking to build relationships with performers, conductors, and performing arts organizations. There is a fine balance in terms of how one goes about navigating this path. For me, the greatest challenge has been learning to accept when someone simply does not respond to my voice and/or aesthetic. Art is subjective, but that is sometimes difficult to remember when you truly believe in a piece.

Why Do We Sing?

I sing to open up. I sing to share. I sing to discover who I am. I sing to discover who I want to be. I sing to transcend my body. I sing to expand out the boundaries of my emotions, to feel more, to be more. To grow. To fly. I sing to tell the story of what I’ve learned, and to ask others to share their stories with me.

I sing to feel. I sing to love.
