At 26 was told I had "not much talent" / At 28 was told I "had nothing to say as an artist." At 35, while being rejected for a certain role, was told that it required "star casting" ... so, yep!

Anyone want to comment on how beautiful this is? & how brave Joshua is? & how wonderful it is to hear his beautiful voice? & how sometimes the world can't comprehend beauty because of their own inner hatred, so they must lash out at others? Joshua - you are DIVINE! Anyone else?!?
Joshua is being homeschooled due to being bullied because of musical talents in the last 18 months Joshua has found a love of opera. He is at an all time low can you help us please From Sarah

It is the thrill of a lifetime to be able to bring Didon to the stage in Berlioz's Les Troyens. Of course, it is an epic work, grand in every sense of the word; but it is the humanity and the intimacy found in this role that is nearly unbearable to me.
