… after 55 years of living in the Northern Hemisphere, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa admits she still finds it strange to be celebrating in the middle of summer (in New Zealand).
“I just can’t get used to it!” she says. “It never clicks because it’s just not cold enough”

“He’s such a lovely little boy – we have a lot of fun together,” enthuses Dame Kiri Te Kanawa about her grandson Luther. Kiri moved back to Aotearoa in 2021 to be near him.

Life is good… What brings me the most joy is knowing people are happy. I just like to make sure that my husband, my grandchild, my son and my daughter are all living their lives with contentment. That’s really all that matters.”
- Dame Kiri Te Kanawa

Si ho diu Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, és que és cert! Com de fabulós no és només guanyar un premi, sinó que hi ha moltes possibilitats i que són els que realment inspiren als joves cantants a presentar-se i tenir l'oportunitat de cantar davant de grans jurats i agents!
