ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

The brilliant Ira Siff assumes the identity of Mme. Galupe-Borszkh, prima donna of La Gran Scena Opera Company. Taped live on April 30, 2003, at La Belle Epoque, New York City.

“In her courageous commitment to challenging gender barriers as she champions venerable performing-arts stereotypes, Mme. Galupe-Borszkh is equaled perhaps only by the Ballets Trocadero de Monte Carlo and Dame Edna Everage. But . . . Dame Edna can’t offer the kind of musical and interpretive skills the soprano demonstrates in “Suicidio!,” an aria whose action she attempts to illustrate with the help of a range of props, from sleeping pills to a dagger that, alas, buckles altogether before the redoubtable”
— Ann Midgette, Opera News
