"Justice Ginsburg was a personal heroine of mine, as I'm sure she is a heroine for the country -- the world," American soprano Christine Goerke said in an artist statement for a performance video released Monday night by Lincoln Center in honor of Ginsburg.In the video, Goerke, who has met and performed for Ginsburg on several occasions, performs an aria from Beethoven's"Fidelio," known to be one of Ginsburg's favorite operas.

"The crux of the piece is about a woman who is unafraid to pass boundaries, to go where she is told she is not allowed to be, to save people that she loves. She puts her very life on the line to make sure that everyone has the kind of life that they deserve," Goerke explained in the statement, adding that, in her eyes, it relates directly to Ginsburg's life.

Goerke was not alone in honoring Ginsburg through song. American mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato also did a performance in her memory, of"America the Beautiful."just about a year ago that her time listening to music in the concert hall and opera theater was one of the only times that the briefings and the opinions would stop dancing in her head," DiDonato said."So I wanted to pay tribute to her in song.
