It is so beautiful, the best Traviata I've seen.

The conquered unobtainable: "...then there is that one moment where her intensely in-folded lips release her voice in a pure glowing intersplice of fragility and power expressed as sound."

It's one of the most amazing things about art - it endures and keeps handing us all this beauty that's been preserved and created in spite of the violence and brutality of the past, and now it will help us survive the horrors we are sure to face. Thank you for this post which made me cry in gratitude.

Her voice is so soft and controlled, but you feel that it comes from somewhere deep--a horrifying but truthful place. She is stoic but then offers us tiny glimpses of her weakening body, making her struggle all the more heart-breaking. She is beauty.
