Garrop, Stacy: Selected Arias

from The Transformation of Jane Doe

It’s New Year’s Eve in Chicago, 1919. Just before the stroke of midnight, an anonymous woman leaps from the rooftop of a downtown hotel. The next morning, a young reporter named Abigail lands her first, major story, uncovering the identity of this mysterious jumper. The deeper Abigail descends into the complexity of Jane Doe’s story, the closer she comes to unearthing her own personal truth. The Transformation of Jane Doe is an opera about truth, illusion, and one woman’s journey in a rapidly changing world. These powerful and accessible selections from Garrop's gripping, noir-esque opera will make a dramatic addition to the soprano's recital program.
