I ngrid H eyn: “Growing up in a trilingual family is a huge benefit in terms of the love of language itself – and perhaps language and art are inextricably entwined (in my perception, at least) so as to render at once mysterious and self-evident the conundrum expressed by Richard Strauss in his opera Capriccio. There was never a perceptible difference in the value of words and music for me, merely of mode. I know that even as a little girl, I loved both the melody of poetry and the lyricism of music, and I both wrote and sang from the moment that I became aware one could express the intangible and the known in those modes.

German is, of course, one of the great languages in the world, so far as an opera singer is concerned. I do consider it a drawback that my parents did not happen to speak Italian as well as German, Dutch and English (a little forethought on their parts would have been helpful. Of what use, I ask you, is Dutch to an opera singer?), but no one who plunges into the world of opera can remain ignorant of Italian (not without a great deal of effort, that is). French, too, is one of those essential languages, and imparts a wholly unique colour to the voice, I think.
