Winner of the 2020 Outshine Film Festival’s prestigious Programmers Award of Excellence, The Sound of Identity is a feature documentary that Shout! Studios will present on digital and on demand June 1.
Profiling international opera star Lucia Lucas’ historic performance at the Tulsa Opera, The Sound of Identity lifts the curtain as she becomes the first known transgender woman to perform a principal role in opera history.
Showcasing the collaborative process between Lucas and her mentor, composer Tobias Picker, Mozart’s Don Giovanni comes to life as Lucas, a world-renowned baritone, takes on the spotlight—and all the pressures that come with it.
According to Lucas’ website, she has resided in Germany for the past decade and performs in cities all over the globe. She has also had the baritone solo in Cage’s Europeras 1 & 2 with Wuppertal Oper as well as a solo in Unknown, I Live with You—a concert inspired by Afghan female writers’ poems with The Airport Society—in several venues throughout Europe.
