"Je zult nooit meer kunnen zingen", zei haar dokter. Maar operasopraan Charity Tillemann-Dick vertelt een dubbel overlevingsverhaal -- het verhaal van haar lichaam, dat herstelde van een dubbele longtransplantatie, en dat van haar geest, die gedreven werd door een niet te stoppen wens om te zingen. Een krachtig verhaal van 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 »
