Some of you may remember Lori Lewis who occasionally has frequented this blog. At one point she was all involved in radio and contemporary Christian music, but then she became a confessional Lutheran and an outspoken critic of that musical scene. More recently she has gotten involved with opera, both as a singer and as a popularizer of that artform via radio and writing. Her latest project, though, is a webzine entitled Eveyday Opera. It’s not about opera; rather, it uses opera as a metaphor for what she describes in the site’s slogan as “Life Full Voice.” Here is how she described it to me:
A little over 2 years ago I started Everyday Opera out of the need to find a platform for my own art.I had gone through a down time but out of it grew this idea…Making Classic Art an Everyday Event.Personality driven, non intimidating, but with the theory that Art lifts us in our everyday experience. In a culture full of junk food, and I eat plenty of my share, I’m a mini-evangelist for expanding one’s horizon’s.
