Blythe Spirit
STEPHANIE BLYTHE calls herself “the most fortunate young artist on the planet,” and with good reason. Opera lovers are not known for their charity when assessing vocal talent, and even the most famous singers before the public today have aggressive detractors. But all the critics, both professional and amateur, seem to agree that Stephanie Blythe is blessed with a major instrument that she uses to potent effect in a repertoire ranging from her triumphant Cornelia in the Metropolitan’s recent Giulio Cesare to contemporary compositions like Richard Danielpour’s American Requiem.
