The video is dedicated to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as part of Women’s History Month to honor the anniversary of her birth month and her life’s work, her support of the arts, and in particular, her love of opera.
Justice Ginsburg was born on March 15, 1933 and passed away on September 18, 2020.
“Wide and empty is the road alone without irreplaceable you,” writes MSM Director of Opera Studies Tazewell Thompson as a dedication in the video. “Not sad anymore. We had you for a while. Now you are singing in the constellations with your friends: Tosca, Otello, Dido, Butterfly, Giovanni, Boris, Carmen, Violetta… Dear RBG: We hear you!”
“I love it so. My heart beats with joyous anticipation when I know the opera is about to start. Everything else goes away, and I am in the world in front of me.” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg March 15, 1933 - September 20, 2020
