I'm a day late with this, but since I neglected this year to post the usual Christmas Eve video advent calender, I thought I ought at least to post one semi-seasonal video. So here's an honorary Australian, the divine Susan Gritton, singing "I know that my redeemer liveth". Happy (belated) Christmas, everyone.

- I love opera, bluegrass, burger joints and fictional detectives. Mostly, but not always, in that order. Formerly of Dunedin, formerly of Sydney, now travelling the world with the tenor in my life (Stuart Skelton) and blogging as I go.

She's just too beautiful for words.

I don't understand ... what is this production about? (Sorry, showing I'm an idiot, I'm sure ....)

I'm not entirely sure either, but I believe it's set during and immediately after a funeral. I don't know how much of a plot the director attempted to impose - it might make more sense if one sees the whole thing, which I haven't. I posted this one because I love the aria and this is the only clip of Susan Gritton singing it.
