An Interview With Stephen Costello
Tenor Stephen Costello has been a beloved mainstay at the Met ever since his 2007 debut, three years prior to originating the role of Ishmael/Greenhorn in Jake Heggie's operatic adaptation of Moby-Dick. This March, Stephen returned to the role when Moby-Dick came to the Met for the first time. He generously spoke with me in between performances about Moby-Dick, iconic tenor roles with no character arcs, and why opera is like Cirque du Soleil. Enjoy!
