It’s never too late to start a career in music. Ekaterina Sadovnikova had no dream of becoming an opera singer: She didn't attend a music school in her childhood, didn't play any instrument, and knew nothing about opera. She was studying to become a history teacher, when one musical composition changed her life forever. These days, Ekaterina lives in Italy and performs all around the world. From October 18, she will be singing on the stage of the Sydney Opera House in "The Marriage of Figaro".
