Accompanied by his wife, José Cura arrived in Bratislava this
morning and spent an hour of his time in the evening with the media.
“I'm in Slovakia for the first time. On April 16 it will be twenty
years since my wife and I arrived in Europe, so here is our home,
where two of our children were born in Europe,” said Cura in a
preliminary meeting. "Although I regularly sing for balls in Vienna
or Budapest, I loathe dancing, because I cannot dance. In thirty
years of marriage, I have been at a disco twice but I did not
dance,” said the successful tenor. HNonline. 5 March 2011
The
star of the evening was…Argentine singer José Cura. He ‘broke’many
a woman’s heart with his legendary immediacy. He literally tossed
his bow tie directly on the floor just before the show. “I need to
feel free in this song,” Cura commented on his actions,
[and then] stunned the hosts with his unique
singing of the aria from Turandot by Giacomo Puccini.
