As part of its Come as You Are Festival, the Atlanta Opera is presenting two exciting new works likely to be embraced by the LGBTQ community: “Cabaret” and the transgender themed “As One.”
This version of “Cabaret” is adapted from the 1998 Broadway revival. It ran for more than 2,377 performances at Studio 54 in New York. “As One,” on the other hand, had its world premiere in 2014 and is making its local debut with the Atlanta Opera. Composed by Laura Kaminsky with a libretto by Mark Campbell and transgender filmmaker Kimberly Reed, it’s the story of Hannah, a transgender woman discovering her true identity.
Transgender baritone Lucia Lucas stars and sings the role of Hannah Before in the production.
“’As One’ is a project I have known about since before the world premiere in 2014,” Lucas told Georgia Voice. “I read the libretto before the first performance. I wasn’t asked to do it until Atlanta. They were the first to ask me. It’s a piece I had interest in — there is not a ton of trans opera singers at all, and I don’t know how many of them have performed this piece. The majority of people who performed it were cis.”
As Lucas began learning the peace, the beauty of the work became apparent.
“There are some things that are the same; there is a base emotion to every scene,” she said. “Even for people who are not trans, even outside of the LGBTQ community, I think everyone can identify with somebody else’s expectations and not being able to live up to them, feeling frustration or pain, thinking everything will be okay if you can make someone else happy.”
According to Lucas, the character of Hannah is probably a generation or so older than she is. The opera goes through the character’s life chronologically. As Hannah is

Imagine having four Emmy nominations before you’re thirty years old. Imagine that two of those nominations are for Outstanding Comedy Series for two of the most critically acclaimed series of the past decade.
Jennifer Maas TV Business WriterPlenty of newbies will be breaking into the comedy category this Emmys season, but two leading rivals for the title will be actual competitors for the first time: “Atlanta” and “Ted Lasso.”As wildly different series that fall into the same genre in the awards competition, their performances in this race will likely lead to a discussion about the industry’s relationship with feel-good TV.“Those shows are going to have interesting moments, both with Donald Glover having been out of the spotlight for a minute, intentionally, taking a detour with a music career that was more successful than I think a lot of people expected,” a Hollywood industry insider told Variety, “while there’s been probably more publicity than I think Apple would like on the fact that the upcoming third season is likely the last season of ‘Ted Lasso.’” The Jason Sudeikis-led Apple TV+ comedy is the reigning champ and has never aired in an “Atlanta”-less world, while Donald Glover’s show is a twice-nominated FX series that has lost twice, first to HBO’s “Veep” in Season 1 and then to Prime Video’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” in Season 2.And just as “Ted Lasso” has been a topic of joyful conversation continuously for almost two years, the very idea of when “Atlanta’s” Europe-set Season 3 would finally premiere — following a four-year wait since Season 2 — has also been a much-discussed event.“I’d anticipate that if ‘Atlanta’ was gone for so long and came back as the exact same thing, it probably would have less of a chance,” another industry insider says.
