Inspiration of the Day

If I could hope to be half of the artist Lorraine Hunt Lieberson was, I would die happy.

Check her out in a staged version of Handel’s oratorio about early Christian persecution, “Theodora.” Obviously directed by Peter Sellars, complete with choreography.

I don’t know about you, but I was brought to tears, and am speechless.

You know, I was going to write all about how she inspired me to be an artist, not just a singer, how I want to touch people like she touched me… Eh. It’s redundant and lame, and I can tell Opera News all about it when I’m famous.

So… enjoy.
