2 great interviews with Alma! The fist is partly in English with the rest in English subtitles. The second is entirely in English.

I looked at the second video. What an amazing child, just outstanding. I figured that it would be no good my buying her cd as I probably wouldn't understand it completely. She is way above my level of comprehension. You can see multiple shots of Stephen Hawking in the background audience, I think she is certainly up there with his level of thinking.

An interesting article

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/classical-music/an-opera-at-seven-a-concerto-at-nine-meet-britains-reluctant-hei/

Below is a Google translated excerpt from an interview/commentary published in the Austrian Edition of DIE ZEIT about "Cinderella in Vienna". The original is in German and is quite lengthy. Google couldn't handle Deutscher which it translated as "Alma German"
I thought this little snippet is quite an amazing achievement for Alma. Alma actually wrote her opera when she was 9/10yo and it was performed in Israel when she was an 11yo, I think, in July 2015.


Nothing like it has recently been 250 years ago, in 1767, as in Salzburg the first opera of the then eleven-year old Mozart premiered. The comparison with Wolfgang Amadeus, as he was pulled abound in media such as the Guardian, the Times or the BBC, defends Alma German from though. "Oh no," she says and stretches her freckled nose, shaking his head up, "I am Alma, I compose my own music, not of Mozart In addition he was a boy.."

He is a real opera singer! In contrast to all the fake singers like Brightman, Bocelli etc.



or here with Diana Damrau



They don't need this fake gestures for false emotions, because they trained their voice and are able to express real emotion! just with their voice!
