Stephanie Blythe, 50, has spent half her life gracing the world's grandest stages, performing at the Metropolitan Opera as recently as 2019. While she still loves opera, she's found a new way to"break free" at this stage of her career -- namely by singing songs like Queen's"I Want to Break Free" while donning a fake beard.
Blythe, who has done her own stage makeup for years, wears glued-on facial hair as Blythely along with fantastical capes and headwear by Machine Dazzle with Rebecca Kanach. She says Blythely was born out of playing around with her sister as a kid as the bionic character Steve Austin. Rather than a straightforward recital, Blythe and Jarboe created a full narrative arc reminiscent of"Hedwig and the Angry Inch" that addresses sexism and sizeism the singer has faced. Blythely, Blythe said, gives her a voice to say"things that I would never say in public. He's much more bold."
