Script:
Before your birth, Love planted in you the gift of artistry. This gift shines in your very soul and pours into your every reality. When opera calls you, you know it as the beat of your heart and the warmth in your spirit.
Many heroes have come before you to show you how possible it is to be exactly who you are. Heroes like Leontyne Price, Jessye Norman, Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield, and Marian Anderson sing the beauty of their souls and it awakens your gift. In that moment, opera answers your spirit’s needs.
You know Love. You know Love’s imploring you, needing you to share your special gift with the world.
Love’s strength reminds you how important you are to the greater good. Your voice strengthens a nation, your voice calms the storm; your voice heals.
You are a Black Woman in Opera.
