He talks with Ms. Margaret Juntwait who hosts the show with very very beautiful, warm and comfortable voice.

***

M: There again Father and daughter, very typical for Verdi, just one seems pretty contentious (=〈人が〉争いを好む，議論好きな) I mean they are not loving Father and daughter very much, are they? Do you feel that about her, she's not really his daughter, I guess.

M: Which Verdi role you sing is most like Nabucco, is there anything similar to it?

Z: (Immediately, 即座に）It's Macbeth.

M: Why?

M: When Ira and I were talking we hear a little reminders of the music of Macbeth, you know lots of Verdi's operas of the same period, do you hear the same thing?

Z: （なぜだかくすくす笑っている he cannot help but giggle) Yes of course, I do.

M: Wow, all the time I just go. why I'm not knowing for Macbeth before?

Z: Yeah, we heard it already. That's it.

M: What do you think, do you think in feeling that it takes you sort of one opera to the next Verdi's, not only period, you can feel some sort of unity?

Z: Well actually yes, that's why I said it's not hard for me to transform myself in Nabucco or Macbetto or in Simone (Boccanegra), because transformation in his opera always take a same way. At the beginning is very strong character very powerful very - everything and then as the opera goes to the end, that's my end as well. I'm weakening through the opera. That's happening in Macbeth and in Nabucco in Rigoletto, in every -

M: One of your cast mate from Macbeth is listening tonight.

Z: I think he does.

M: Your pal, Dimitri Pittas.

Z: Yeah.

M: You gotta give my shout-out.

M: What is the best thing about early Verdi works, is it energy or tunes because Verdi's music changes as his career,

Z: As his mature, as his career, yes.

M: What's good about early Verdi? What do you like the best singing early Verdi?

Z: There's one thing unique that for the opera, line and legato.(=音を切らずに、なめらかなに) That's it. That's Verdi. But early operas are known because of the very strong rhythms like almost march. Marching rhythms, I don't know how to say, it's very strong. not stronger I mean. Early operas couldn't be better than the last operas, it's obvious, but known because of that rhythms, kind of very simple music.

M: There's lots of strength and lots of energy.

M: You made your Salzburg Festival debut last Summer, didn't you?

Z: Yes,

M: You were singing Macbeth and tell me I'm getting this right, Riccardo Muti was conducting?

Z: That was quite an experience.

M: How come?

Z:Wow! Well you know, three things gathered first time for me in my career. First time I sang Salzburger Festspiele. First time I was working with Maestro, with Riccardo Muti and with Director Peter Stein. All three together. It's really quite an experience.

M: The role you've done before. What Muti brings out something new?

Z: Yes, he did.

M: What? what did he - what did you get from Riccardo Muti in this role you know so very well?

Z: He's in a word of in English, encyclopedia He knows everything. Of course always you can learn something. Something is always there. No matter how often I sang this role, there is always something I don't know and exactly what I didn't know, he told me. so I appreciate that very very much. That was quite a pleasure experience to work with him.

M: He finds what absolutely perfect about Verdi without doing anything too fancy, doesn't he?

Z: (giggling)Yes.

M: He wants you to what Verdi wrote, but in that -

Z: Right, right. As it's written, "Come scritto." he says every time. he says that.

M: Now, weren't you on the Met tour to Japan?

Z: Yes, I was.

M: In Lucia, you sang Enrico?

M: Japanese people seemed very very happy to have the MET there,

Z: Yes, it's a completely another story. That was also everything for the first time happened to me, first time in my life tour with Metropolitan, first time Asia, first time Japan, I was thinking "Is it really happening to me? All I'm in a kind of a Candid Camera or whatever."(laughing)

M: Last summer was a big summer for you then.

Z: That was really the big, big, big Summer, the biggest Summer in my life.

M: Well what I could see Japanese people seemed very happy that everyone was there.

Z: The Metropolitan in this tour really brought life in their life. They were so happy and delightful we were there. Every show was sold out, Metropolitan did there three or four performance, really was fantastic.

M: Just before let you go, last time you were wearing Yankees'Jersy,

Z: Did I?

M: Yes you did. Do you follow the Yankees?

Z: YYYYes, I was sad this time really.

M: Are you disappointed? they were eliminated in Playoff.

Z: Yes, unfortunately. I still have no idea about the sport. I really don't know First, Second, Third base, who's running, where, why? (Margaret claps her hands and Zeljko bursts out laughing) But I'm still following the sports, ok?

M: Oh, we're gonna take you to a ball game, Yankee stadium, when you here in the Spring, absolutely.
