I medici le avevano detto che non avrebbe cantato mai più. Ma il soprano Charity Tilleman-Dick racconta la storia, al limite delle possibilità della medicina, di una doppia salvezza: del corpo, attraverso un doppio trapianto di polmoni, e dello spirito, sostenuto dal desiderio incrollabile di cantare. Una splendida storia da TEDMED 2010.

Charity Tillemann-Dick is a soprano who has appeared on opera and concert stages around the world. Her roles have included Titania in "A Midsummer's Night Dream," Gilda in "Rigoletto" and Violetta in "La Traviata." Full bio »
