Nomi: He 's my spiritual father, and as you may know Maria Callas is my spiritual mother.
Nomi again: I'm singing in an operatic voice for the public , to bring something more to Rock n' Roll. Because in a Rock and Roll performance, the singer talks to the public whereas in Opera the singer only talks to a character, inside a story. The public sees this as a picture, I want to transport this picture into the room where the public is.
Nomi talking: I think opera music is very conservative, and Rock and Roll music is conservative as well. And that's why I'm trying to make a bridge between these two elements
If I had been born as a boy in the 80´s, I would have married this guy... . *v*

My God, I wish he were still alive. Such a rare and unique performer. And there's this sort of untouchable sweetness about him. :3 R.I.P Klaus.

A rough translation for those who wanted it:
Part1-
speaker-man: tomorrow at half past eight pm at the Palace, a new performer in France, Klaus Nomi. That's quite arstonishing, watch this.
woman: It is a big lost for classical music to hear such a voice being spilled in such a place, with a repertoire so meaningless.
man: I'm a classical music amateur and I think this performance was very good.
woman: I was surprised, it was so wondeful.
