"And the people stayed home" Poem by Kitty O'Meara, music by John Corigliano, sung by Renée Fleming with tags music, opera, o'meara, corigliano, poetry
This March, when measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic
had begun around the world, a few hopeful voices resonated
above the fear and isolation.
One such voice belonged to Kitty O’Meara, whose heartfelt
poem “And the people stayed home” was shared on social media,
as readers embraced her message of resilience and healing.
Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Corigliano was inspired
to set the poem to music, and I was honored when he asked me to premiere it.
