Proudly featured on her CD are six collaborations between Sealey and Trinidad All Stars Steel Orchestra. They invited her to be a featured performer at their biennial gala Christmas concerts, “Classical Jewels” (1979, 1981 and 1983). Their relationship was so harmonious that All Stars invited Sealey to accompany them on their tours to Toronto, and to the UK. She recounts memories from those international tours on her CD.
Additionally, Sealey was a member of the only Caribbean operatic team sent to a Carifesta. This four-person team represented Trinidad & Tobago at Carifesta IV (Barbados; 1981). Three of her “live” performances at Carifesta IV are featured on her CD with accompaniment by Lindyann Bodden-Ritch (piano), and Patrick Flores (tenor).
Last but not least, this CD concludes with a recording of Sealey singing “I’ll Have Revenge” (from Mozart’s “The Magic Flute”). She explains the significance of this aria in the penultimate, conversational track on her CD. Rumoured to be the most difficult aria for a soprano voice, Sealey addresses this aria with passion and expertise. FYI: this aria is her fans’ favourite!
