OPERA INTERVIEW: Deborah VOIGT

[@sanfordpress8943]

She has such a wonderful personality.

[@sanfordpress8943]

She is spot on. Body dysmorphia never goes away. The struggle is real.

[@wotan10950]

I adore her! True, her voice deteriorated, as they all do, but she had 25 years of glory on all the world’s great opera stages. To me, that’s a great career.

[@Bailey2006a]

Yes. We know others ( Moffo , Callas etc) who were not as fortunate.

[@pasqualeperrone1560]

The commentator is so nostalgic with his comments

[@Alfredo-i7l3h]

After the operation and too much. Wagner,her voice,was never the same.

[@samueljaramillo4221]

One of the greatest singers around. But unfortunately as singers age the voice begins to fade. But she did have a glorious career.

She seemed so at ease with everything she’s telling in this interview, but people don’t know how hard it can be… and I hate that they do this: “eat in front of the camera” thing with people who’ve lost weight… Nobody sits and drinks a glass of wine with a recovering alcoholic…🙄

I get what you mean but --unlike with alcohol -- the problem with food addiction, as Oprah used to say, is that it's a necessity for life. So managing it involves controlling instead of completely avoiding its consumption (like just the chance to even see or buy the addictive agent in the case of alcohol), and that in a way that makes it harder because the temptation has to sit in front of you seductively out of biological necessity at least a few times daily & there's nothing you can do to change that, except to mindfully control yourself every single time you have to handle it. That would include eating in front of others in public as well as alone in private & both situations present their own unique challenges I think.
