I will be honest. This was a hard thing to pull off, and it wasn't without it's modifications! Singing the role of the Queen of the Night is difficult enough without the complications of pregnancy.

Zerfließe, mein Herze, in Fluten der Zähren
Dem Höchsten zu Ehren!
Erzähle der Welt und dem Himmel die Not: Dein Jesus ist tot!
|
Dissolve, my heart, in floods of tears
To honour the Most High.
Tell earth and heaven of your distress:
Your Jesus is dead! |
Here is the announcement, which is also on their blog.
My friend's names are bolded! Congrats ladies!

"Think Outside Your Box" means 3 things:
1. Be Selfless - think beyond your own "box". (and for singers, there's more to life than your voice box!) You're capable of helping and healing others.
2. Feel Empowered to bust out of the proverbial
"box" made of societally-induced-parameters.
3. Be Bold. Innovate. Stretch yourself. You can do anything if you set your mind to it.
