For Opera Now, I wrote a preview feature on Tobias Picker’s Lili Elbe at Santa Fe Opera, where the opera receives its North American premiere in August. I spoke with the composer and with Lucia Lucas, the American-born, Germany-based trans baritone for whom the title role was written, about the opera’s love story, its historical subject, and its journey to the American stage.
