Stephanie Blythe brings her celebrated mezzo-soprano voice and distinctive personality to a relaxed, cabaret-style American Songbook program at The Barns. Accompanied by pianist Ryan McCullough, the longtime Wolf Trap Opera alumna will select and announce songs from the stage, shaping the afternoon in real time with humor, conversation, and informal banter. The repertoire will draw from music associated with the stage.
