    • 2014 August 2, Aigi Viira, Koit Toome: Inimestele võib jääda mulje, et mu elu on üks lust ja lillepidu, glamuur ja šampanja, teed korra la-la-laa, ja pappi tuleb – tegelikult nii ei ole.:
      "Olen seitseteist kontserti järjest teinud ilma ühegi vaba päevata, Saaremaa ooperipäevadel esinedes tõmbasin viimase ressursi ära, mis vähegi veel oli reservi jäänud," kirjeldab muusik Koit Toome põhjusi, miks tal kesk suurt suve hääl kähisema kipub. Pärast neid pingutusi ta puhata ei saa, ees ootab ülesastumine Birgitta festivalil, kus tuleb ettekandele Bernsteini "Missa".
      "I've performed seventeen concerts in a row without a day off, and when I performed at the Saaremaa Opera Days, I drew on the last of the resources I had left in reserve," says musician Koit Toome, describing the reasons why his voice tends to be hoarse in the middle of the summer. After all this effort, he can't rest: he's due to perform at the Birgitta Festival, where Bernstein's Missa will be performed.
