a visit that became pivotal in shaping her future humanitarian efforts for #Ukraine.

Over the years of war, thanks to Sister #Lucía’s support, convoys of ambulances filled with medical supplies have been delivered to #Ukraine, including to military units. These donations and shipments are part of a campaign organized by the “#CaixaBank Volunteers Association,” the “Messengers of Peace Association,” and the #Santa_Clara Monastery Foundation, headed by Sister #Lucía herself.

I recently learned about a great friend of #Ukraine – Sister #Lucía, a philanthropist, TV host, and author who actively supports #Ukraine. I decided to share a bit about her.

Sister #Lucía_Caram, a #Dominican nun, first visited #Ukraine in 2015. At that time, the first wave of refugees arrived in #Spain, fleeing the shelling and bombings in the #Donetsk and #Luhansk regions. Sister #Lucía came to witness the situation with her own eyes –

Admittedly, I would have liked to have heard Baccaloni as Raimondo and de Muro Lomanto as Edgardo, but since Lucia is naturally so important, I'm glad I chose this version and not the one from 1929. Lina Pagliughi did an excellent job. Having heard the voice of Mercedes Capsir from Barbiere, I couldn't imagine her in this role. Her voice isn't powerful enough. Having said that, I liked Pagliughi's restrained approach. It was elegant, graceful, and emotional without being exagerated. I heard that some play Lucia as a means of showing off and/or in a very dramatic way. This was more subtle and somehow more captivating. I'm glad that I was told about the cuts, so I knew to expect them. It's a shame, as Giovanni Malipiero barely had a part as Edgardo, though he played it well. I also liked Muzio Giovagnoli as Arturo, so I must research both of these singers. Despite the dark plot, I was surprised to find that so much of the music was light. This makes three operas that I've seen by Donizetti and I've loved all of them. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll be able to see any more, unless I sit through a modern performance."

Note: I might be willing to consider one by Teatro Nuovo, since from what I hear, they are reviving bel canto singing.

Here is the Reddit link for those who may be interested. As of this writing, there aren't any comments, so there isn't anyting to see beyond the above post right now.

Kun kuulin Lucia-neidon kokeneen rasismia, tuli heti mieleen eräs vanha Bamse-tarina, _hämmentävän_ ajankohtainen edelleen:

Kilpinen kertoo lapsille sadun tontuista. Tumma tonttu haluaa olla Lucia, mutta muille se ei käy. Luciaksi valitaan vaalea tonttu. Juhlassa on käydä hullusti, kun kynttilän tuli leviää Lucian vaatteisiin. Tumma tonttu rientää sammuttamaan tulen. "Hänen täytyy olla oikea Lucia!" toteavat muut.
