Sharing covers of beloved musical theatre classics like 'I Dreamed a Dream' always feels special, especially when revisiting performances from a decade ago. I remember when I first recorded this cover; it was more for the joy of singing and personal fulfillment than for a large audience. The phrase my mom jokingly said, "worst case only 8 people see it," turned out to be a comforting thought and a reminder that sharing art, even with a small group, is valuable. Over the years, returning to this cover has given me fresh perspective on my growth as a singer. The song itself, from Les Misérables, is profoundly emotional, demanding not just vocal skill but deep connection to the character's story. If you’re an aspiring opera singer or a fan of musical theatre, covering such pieces can be an incredible exercise in expression and technique. To fellow performers thinking about posting their own covers: don’t be discouraged by audience size. The process of recording and sharing is part of the personal artistic journey. Hashtags like #idreamedadream, #lesmiserables, #operasinger, and #musicaltheatre help connect with communities of like-minded fans and performers, even if the initial reach is small. Looking back, I appreciate how this cover video preserves a snapshot of my voice at that time. It encourages me to keep exploring and sharing musical theatre numbers that resonate strongly. Whether it's through opera or musical theatre, the passion for storytelling through song is what truly connects artists and audiences alike.
