It's Love That Keeps Us Together with Stephanie Blythe [LIVE]

Stephanie Blythe, mezzo-soprano & ukulele
Valentine’s Day weekend is going to be perfectly imperfect and overflowing with love songs. Put on something nice, opera star Stephanie Blythe is taking you out and then inviting you up(state) for her Valentine’s Day show, “It's Love That Keeps Us Together with Stephanie Blythe” on Saturday, February 13.
On February 13, Ms. Blythe will host and perform a joyful and nostalgic program of her favorite love songs spanning the American Songbook from her home in the Poconos. Captivating, gorgeous, and a “once-in-a-generation opera singer” (The New York Times), Ms. Blythe will enchant her guests as she sings a dazzling selection of songs and accompanies herself on her blue ukulele with the wit, warmth, and honesty that makes her beloved by all.
Also swooping in – like Cupid himself – to enamor the audience with a tender, testosterone-filled tenor performance will be Blythely Oratonio, Ms. Blythe’s hopelessly romantic drag alter ego. The show embraces all one might aspire to in mid-February: a little bit of experimentation, a dash of adventure, impeccable art, and a whole bunch of fun.
“In a usual season, the kaleidoscopic nature of my work whisks me to a new location every month or two. This means I am continually discovering what I hold dear – a sense of family, a feeling of belonging, and the recognition of connection – in new shapes and forms. It fills me with wonder every single time. The through line is music; songs build community, they give us a sense of being part of our world, and they shift how we relate to the people in it. And when we share in them together everything that doesn’t matter just falls away,” says Ms. Blythe.
The livestream will take place at 7pm Eastern / 4pm Pacific.
Ms. Blythe will also perform and host a Spring-themed show on Saturday, April 10, 2021 at 7pm Eastern / 4pm Pacific. The package price for both events is $30 (+service fees). In June, Ms. Blythe will launch her bi-monthly variety show as a subscription series.
Tickets: $20 + $3.50 service fee
