Eccomi in lieta vesta

A music video by ©Hyunseon Kang. Producer: Junho Park

Bellini’s beautiful Aria is part of Korean Soprano Hera Hyesang Park’s debut Album “I am Hera”.
I am Hera also embraces the singer’s spiritual side, not least in Un-Yung La’s sublime setting of Psalm 23 which, she says, stands for her core values and the importance of remaining courageous in difficult times. Along with Joowon Kim’s beautiful and dramatic “Like the wind that met with lotus”, this setting reflects her love of the music of her native South Korea, and her understanding that her roots, assimilated now into a wider, cosmopolitan outlook, are vital to her sense of identity.

“I felt a responsibility to treat this album as part of a much bigger exploration of myself,” says Hera. “I’d already discovered that the more I try to become a different person, the more I realise it doesn’t work. So I came to be more authentic on the stage and in my singing by being truthful to the score. It was very scary to do that in front of the microphone for the first time, but I felt so supported by everyone involved. Now I want people to feel and share the energy of the music I love.”
