Classic FM recently provided a refreshing break from so much distressing news in the world, sharing the sweet story of a Canadian opera singer who performed while holding an infant on her hip. A seven-minute video accompanying the January 1st post shows mezzo-soprano\u00a0Wallis Giunta<\/a>, who lightheartedly tells the surprised live audience that the boy she is holding is the son of her accompanying violist, Marina Thibeault.<\/p>\n

She continues on, telling the audience that she will be performing one of Brahms’ lullabies. “It’s a song sung by Mary to the angels on the night of Jesus’ birth. She’s asking them to still the wind and quiet the leaves rustling in the trees so that her baby can sleep.” She explains, “Lucien was backstage having a little nap, so we thought that maybe he could join us for this song.”<\/p>\n
