Shirley Verrett, amazing mezzo-soprano (who defied wisdom and laid siege to the likes of Tosca, Norma and Desdemona), the Azucena and Orpheus for the ages, passed away yesterday.
What a woman. What a lady. What an artist.
A favorite mezzo performance from Sun-Ly Pierce
-
*Lorraine Hunt Lieberson*’s performance of “As with rosy steps the morn”
from Handel’s *Theodora* is a masterclass in the confidence to simply hold
space.
