Baritone, Peter Kálmán, and Marie Ross chat at the Salzburg Festival in part 2 of their interview.

Peter discusses the opera characters that he creates on stage and how he gets his inspiration from real life experiences.

Theater and acting in opera is about gestures that make up character traits and the slightest color or how an emotion plays through the voice, and Peter Kalman is a master of these qualities.

On stage, Peter is like a fish in water. He got his education and training back stage, watching from the wings, learning by doing, experiencing in theater and in life. You’ll get a chance now to hear him talk about it.
