The Sound of Identity

Lucia is an inspiring person, and while being transgender is very much a part of her Identity, and perhaps why she may be the most perfectly cast "Don Giovanni" in recent history, her trans-ness is not at the forefront of this story, at least it wasn't my main take away. It brings us into the world of modern Opera, an artform that has been waning in popularity for decades but for those who love it, their dedication is clear. It takes us behind the scenes with some amazing artists, showing us the long hours, technological frustrations, time away from loved ones and other hard sacrifices that it takes to be a successful and stay relevant, especially in the world of live productions. It shows the importance of adapting and changing with the times while staying true to your passions and understanding your own history. The relationships between the characters is heartfelt, and the story arc is incredibly engaging. I can't wait to see what Kicklighter makes next.
