Her glorious voice and spirit are forever inspiring.
I generally don’t read specialized or academic music publications–and there are fewer and fewer of them, vide the demise of Opera News–and was entirely unaware that Australian director Wayne Groom had released in 2021 a documentary entitled “Marjorie Lawrence: The World at Her Feet.” I’d love to see it. The trailer contains incredible news footage of her.
The fact that, even with a human interest angle like Lawrence’s polio, apparently nothing has appeared in the corporate media about this film is yet another indictment of the cultural impoverishment of our media and our society itself. Maybe I’m beating a dead horse, but this is something I’m confronted with every day.
