I'm going to share this with my 3 year old Grandson. He's a big Beethoven's 9th fan.

The music is composed by Ludwig van Beethoven, and set to the well-known poem An der Freude (Ode to Joy) by Friedrich Schiller.

It's all in German of course, however English translations abound on the internet. Here's a good English version of the piece: https://www.songlyrics.com/ludwig-van-beethoven/ode-to-joy-lyrics/

....there is a soprano whose huge ego demands that she be the only one wearing an ugly ass green dress. Forgive me for this, but I've known quite a few opera singers and a lot of sopranos are just like this. Insufferable.
