so very moving

she gives her all. very moving...

Although I could perhaps find this interpretation a bit expressionist and actor studio to my taste, with the dramatic flow taking its tool on the legato, acoustic integrity and roundness of voyels, and pure singing beauty, Madam Upshaw's sincerity is just HYPNOTIC. Brava!
-
@jkaise true, she isn't dying, but what a lovely way to die, singing like this before one's end.... beautiful...
-
Especially moving where the harmony takes off at 1:15 with the 'circle of fifths', used elsewhere in "Theodora".
-
@emyjaymac The heroine is a christian lady who does not want to participate in the official pagan rites as the Roman caesar and the governor command. She didn't mind to be killed as a martyr, but instead, she's in jail and to be raped as humiliation at the rise of sun, which she fears as worse than death. That's why she longs to die and be hid by an eternal night.

Amazing. She is incredibly moving.
Do you have to have that caption on the screen though?
