Yes, that’s our own Susan Graham, starring in an operatic version of the hit film Transamerica. Kudos to the hair, makeup and costume people of the Opera national de Paris for making Susie look so convincingly like a pre-op transsexual!

Well, no, actually, the opera is Iphigenie en Tauride, and apparently the opening night audience didn’t much care for it either. (La Graham had the wit to cancel the prima.)
