Star Gala: Stephanie Blythe

 May 12, 2013, at 3 p.m.
Schuster Center

Stephanie Blythe’s sumptuous mezzo-soprano has captivated audiences at the Met and the world’s greatest opera houses. This Mother’s Day, take a sentimental journey as Ms. Blythe pays a personal tribute to the songs made famous by Kate Smith, the popular music icon whose stirring voices helped our country through the Great Depression and World War II. Enjoy favorites like “When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain,” “God Bless American” and so many more. The New York Times wrote, “Ms. Blythe was in some ways an even better Kate Smith than Kate Smith.”
