Big news from one our
favorite barihunks. Theo Hoffman has announced to his family, friends and the
opera world that he is in the midst of sex reassignment surgery.
Hoffman has been
working with coaches on a fach change to mezzo soprano, focusing on the coloratura
mezzo repertory. The opera world has been incredibly supportive and it has been
announced that she’ll be making her debut in Rossini’s La Cenerentola at a
major U.S. opera festival in 2015. Hoffman was originally slated to sing the
role of Dandini, which will now be sung by Wes Mason. The opera will be
directed by Peter Kazaras.
Hoffman is asking
people to begin referring to her as Theodora Hofflein.
Hoffman is not the
first entertainer to have sex reassignment surgery. Both Alexis Arquette and
Chaz Bono made headlines with their transitions in recent years.
