For me, the most beautiful role is also the one I’ve sung most often, and she’s my favourite: Suzuki in Madama Butterfly. This is perhaps also because I’ve sung her up to now in three different productions (one revival and two new productions).
It’s Suzuki’s physical presence that makes this role so fascinating to me. She’s on stage from the beginning to the end of the tragedy. She does not sing much in Act One, to be sure, but she leaves her mark on the action by simply being there, and through the physical aura she exudes.
Over the years, throughout the different productions and performances in which I’ve sung the role, the character of Suzuki has matured in me. The calm simplicity with which she moves and expresses herself have helped me to develop an intimate, personal relationship with her.
In both vocal and acting terms, Suzuki is one of my most personal roles – one that I feel closest to and that I trust the most. I could sing her for all time. Calmness and a sense of just “being” are what I associate with Suzuki.
