Marina Costa-Jackson also made an impressive company debut in both 'Suor Angelica' and 'Gianni Schicchi'
On Saturday night, mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe did what no other woman opera singer in the world has done before in a professional production.
The result, like everything Blythe does, was perfectly pitched, well-sung, well-acted and hilarious. But most interesting, it was seamless. With Blythe in a realistic beard, wig and male costume, it’s impossible to tell by sight or, most critically, sound that a woman was playing the role.
This month’s production is the first time “Suor Angelica” has been performed in San Diego, and only the second time for “Gianni Schicchi” . As a result, the music may be new to many showgoers, but the sweet, rolling melodies of Puccini sound instantly familiar.
