You can read a brandnew interview with
Simone Simons on the Opera-Rock Show official website:
Q: First of all the most important question: how are you doing?
Simone: "At the moment it is ok. The illness is not gone yet and I have to rest a lot. Thanks to a lot of support of the fans I feel much better. It is just that it is a very strong bacteria which doesn’t go away that easy."
Q:Let’s talk about the classical show. What was your first idea when you heard about the invitation of Miskolc International Opera Festival?
Simone: "I was waiting for an opportunity like this and am happy that it is finally happening. I am very much looking forward to it. Classical music plays quite a big part in our music and to perform with a whole orchestra instead of what we normal do, is fantastic!
Q: Epica is going to play classical pieces and Epica songs as well. How do you prepare for the classical pieces? Have you sung classical songs before?
Simone: "I have had classical singing lessons for 4 years. I have sung quite some classical pieces and musical songs. Now I will prepare for this show with some extra singing lessons. I had a break of the singing lessons because I was too busy lately."
