Peru’s world renowned tenor Juan Diego Fl\u00f3rez<\/a> says one of the secrets to his fluid, expressive singing and dazzling virtuosity is an edible Andean seed, heralded by the United Nations as the international  food of the year: quinoa.<\/p>\n

“The day of a performance, I eat quinoa,” Fl\u00f3rez told Radioprogramas radio. “It gives you energy. It’s fantastic. The day of my show, no matter where I am, I eat quinoa and avocado.”<\/p>\n

Fl\u00f3rez  returned to Peru for rehearsals, singing the part of Arnold in the opera William Tell, “an opera I have always wanted to do and a very challenging and enormously satisfying role.”<\/p>\n

Daily El Comercio reports the opera will premier March 1 at the Grand National Theater in Lima’s historic center.<\/p>\n
