TEHRAN – German-based Iranian opera singer Mario Taghadossi plans to hold several master classes in different Iranian cities in the near future.
The opera singer will travel to Tehran early in January to arrange the exact date and locations for his master classes.
“I will hold the classes in Isfahan, Shiraz, Rasht and Karaj, and the master class for students in Tehran will be set for spring,” Taghadossi told the Persian service of ISNA on Monday.
He also said that he has no plans for a concert in Tehran, adding, “Iranian youth are very talented and enjoy good voices, but their only problem is that they are lazy, I would like them to practice more and learn more languages.
“I would like to transfer my 34 years of experiences to the youth; I want them to make progress,” Taghadossi who was the student of Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti (1935–2007) said.
“I teach them in the four languages of English, Italian, German and French, and I always tell them, the more they practice, the more they will learn,” he added.
Taghadossi accompanied the Iranian ensemble Messiah led by Assyrian conductor Honiball Yousef at a concert of world love songs at Tehran’s Milad Tower last summer.
