I just read an article about 
mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato fracturing her leg during a performance of Rossini’s “Barbiere di Siviglia,”at the Royal Opera House. Read the article from the New York Times Here.
Ms. DiDanto finished the Saturday night performance on crutches, and spent 4 hours in an emergency room thereafter. For the performance following (a Tuesday), she performed in a wheelchair.
I must say, this is a great representation of dedication to one’s craft. Be passionate in everything that you do.
You can read more on Joyce DiDonato’s blog, Yankee Diva (yankeediva.blogspot.com).
Someday the understudy will get a shot…
