Collection in Focus: Anthony Roth Costanzo on the power of written music

Opera is primal. It's about the human voice that we are born with and how it can communicate emotion. So we have to have a way to get ideas for reinvention. And for me, returning to this, this place and these manuscripts, it gives me an opportunity to meditate and to create.” –Anthony Roth Constanzo

Watch opera singer Anthony Roth Constanzo discuss his career and passion for music. From Gluck to Handel to Mozart to Philip Glass, Constanzo takes us through the history of music performance.
