Description

Footage of Maureen Brathwaite backstage and in rehearsal while she talks about her musical history, how finding out about other black opera singers was very helpful, how she incorporates spirituals in her recital programmes and about "echoes of the African continent" in operas such as Aida, Dido and Anaeas, Nabucco and Salome. She explains how she felt when she first sang a principle role, that of Donna Elvira in Mozart’s Don Giovanni, talks about the combining of all the different facets of an opera into one art form, and introduces the aria "Chi il bel sogno di Doretta potè indovinar" from Puccini’s La Rondine (1917). Credits.
