love, that consumes my now. Scott says it’s a touchstone and we all loved the movie and referred to it, it’s not something that you have to put away and can’t mention.”

“I think [Sandra Nettelbeck] actually came to the set one day and I think they both stand on their own,” he adds, “I don’t feel that one is completely separate from the other, I don’t think I even consider that, it’s not something that even bothers me.”

Both he and Zeta-Jones, in preparing for the role had to learn from a professional chef how to exquisitely cook for the film. Aaron claims that the schooling proved to be a great way to get to know his co-star.

“We had a great time getting to know each other in the kitchen,” he recalls, “I mean, at first, Catherine and I, Scott got us hooked up with Fiama with chef Michael White. And we came in there, we’re in the kitchen, we’re trying to stay away and be very courteous with each other, move around the kitchen.

“I did when I was making the movie,” says Aaron, “I was listening to one song a lot. It doesn’t come totally naturally to me, obviously. I’m not a great singer and it was interesting to do those days. Scott really helped me out, but yeah, it’s all on the DVD. I did actually like doing it, to experiment and Scott says there’s such amazing voices to see the difference between the layman’s voice and their voices, it’s amazing stuff.”

“And saying the words, and having the poetry and the words and the meaning in the images that go along with the music really is inspiring and it’s art typical and really is all the symbols and imagery,” he adds, “And that’s why I think theatre and opera is important because they’re telling tales and this is the tale of a guy who lost his love and all that sort of stuff, so it’s ...
