Toby Spence

Canadian soprano Andriana Chuchman, a Ryan Opera Center alumna who is rapidly establishing herself with important companies throughout North America, is returning to Lyric after her captivating portrayal of Valencienne in last season's  Merry Widow. English tenor Toby Spence, a star of both of the major London companies and one of the most prominent British artists internationally, is debuting at Lyric Opera this season. These two singers play opposite each other in The Mikado as the two lovers, Yum-Yum and Nanki-Poo.  In a conversation with Lyric dramaturg and broadcast commentator Roger Pines, Chuchman and Spence speak about their characterizations in the GS work, and about Lyric's new production.
