"Her other major project was writing a three act comedy in prose, Catherine ou la Belle Fermiere given its first performance on 17 November 1792. She also wrote the music. It was a great success and was staged about 150 times in Paris, Brussels and Lille over the next 35 years. At the height of the revolution it was performed 113 times in six Paris theatres. In 1793 it was voted among the top ten plays. She took the title role herself and sung many of the songs while playing the harp." -Dr. David C.F. Wright

Our artistic process is quite similar. We both had more than one role in the performing world. You have performed in operas and plays. You also write music. Which I find very interesting. I dance, but also choreograph. We both seem to have a big interest in the performing arts.
ReplyDeleteUnlike you, however, I dance more ballet which is not the type of music you play. I think it would be very fun if we tried to combine our talents sometime. It could change our era even more. There weren't many artists of our time that would step out of their comfort zone to become even more known.
I think the time and place we lived in made it harder for us to become sucessful. If we lived on the modern time period it would have been so much easier. We had to travel around back in the day, which was not easy because it was expensive and not the norm.
