When 2 geniuses meet, something extraordinary must happen

Back in 1999, we had a cassette of a concert of the great 3 tenors at home. Then I could not even imagine that years later I would work as a member of the jury of the most exciting television show in Europe “Virtuosi” together with the great Placido Domingo. This is a great opportunity for young talented contestants to become real stars. Good luck to all the contestants and us jury members. Thank you for the invitation!
