This is my Something to Sing: Things Joyce Didonato taught me:
Sang one of the most meaningful, fun, musical, and emotional, and enriching concerts that I’ve ever experienced.
We sang in a small church in Dresden today. We had a small audience of about 30, who were all VERY appreciative of everything that we sang. They loved the American spirituals and folk songs especially. I needed this concert and this tour to feel good about performing music again. I’ve gotten to sing in some awesome spaces— including singing solo in the Gedanktniskirche in Berlin— but nothing compared with today’s concert. It was so wonderful feeling like the entire choir, audience, conductor, accompanist was 100% in the moment of making music as a group. That we responded on cue, every time. Our conductor took risks with us and the music we made was brilliant and above all fun.
OH MY SWEET LORD
Beautiful!
Teresa Stratas sings “They are always with me” in John Corigliano’s The Ghosts of Versailles, in the world premiere production at the Metropolitan Opera.
This is some unbelievable performing. This is not easy music, but she manages to navigate it beautifully, all the time nailing the bipolar-ness of the aria. Watch and learn.
I love this aria and I love Stratas singing it. It gives me the chills.
I ADORE this opera.
This. Is. Opera.
