Opera singers stage counter inauguration by putting Hillary's speeches to music
Slippedisc ^ | January 19, 2017

Opera singers will come together tomorrow to honour Hillary Clinton, while Donald Trump is being sworn in.

Glen Roven has set two Clinton speeches to music to be sung by Patricia Racette, Nathan Gunn, Isabel Leonard, Lawrence Brownlee, Matthew Polenzani and others.‘Setting Hillary’s words was a very emotional experience,’ said Glen Roven.

‘Phrases that fly by in a speech are naturally elongated in a musical setting, and as I set each word, slowly and methodically I was in tears. When I mentioned this project to these singers, their immediate response was, ‘I’m in.”

What a childish thing to do.

We need a national prom queen so the Democrats can vote their feelings.
