Here is the interview with South Korean baritone, Chan Hang LIM. He received the 3rd prize in the 6th competition, and now he performs actively at the prestigious theaters in the world.

At the beginnig of this March, Mr. LIM came to Japan to perform the role of Germon in "La traviata" at Toyota City Concert Hall. This interview was filmed just after his performance.

Thank you for your great performance today, and this is your first time to play the role of Germon. How was it?
 
I was feeling very nervous while preparing, because everybody knows this role and the aria “Di Provenza il mar, il suol”. I was also nervous to perform with the orchestra. But now I feel very happy because it finished, and I think I was singing well. Now I have a confidence in singing this role.

You are coming to Hamamatsu this July despite your busy schedule. Do you have any comments to your fans in Hamamatsu, please?
 
Everytime I say to the public, "Please come and watch the performance". That's the way to help artists, even Japanese artists or foreign artists. Art is something special. It is not very difficult, just come and watch, please. I really want to see you all.
