Wonderful insight to compare Federer’s sprezzatura with that of the performers. You made it seem effortless and it was a delight to read... brief, to the point, and wholly believable. I will hold it in mind as a start this day and week.

I'm new to Opera Daily. Seeing Roger Federer in this place about opera totally took me by surprise! I liked it, though, because I'm a tennis fan (used to be a player). I watched the clip of Roger hitting balls in practice and came to a new appreciation of his elegance and talent. Thank you. As to the opera clips, I know very little about opera o I don't think I am in a good position to see how these singers make it look easy, but I will try. I am very much looking forward to this experience.
