Farewell to the music maker Dolly Parton, who, like the many operas on our stages, told stories of love, heartbreak, and hope through song. From a childhood in the Smoky Mountains to a career that spanned six decades, she turned ordinary lives into unforgettable ballads, filling arenas and hearts alike with the same raw emotion we chase in every performance.

Thank you, Dolly, for reminding us that every great story deserves to be sung. 🎶
