"I don't have the need to do any new roles," he says nonchalantly. "But there are several," he adds, with a sudden glimmer in his eye, "that I am contemplating, some that I will do: Handel's Oreste, and Bajazet, in his opera Tamerlano, and also there's a Hamlet, by an Italian composer contemporary to Verdi. For that one, right now I'm looking for a score."
He's 65 on Saturday. I don't think he has anything to prove now...!
