What is a "breeches role"?
A breeches role is a part in an opera or theatrical performance where a female singer portrays a male character. This role requires the performer to dress in men’s clothing and adopt male mannerisms, often to enhance the drama or explore themes of gender and identity. Breeches roles are typically written for soprano or mezzo-soprano voices and are used to create a contrast or add depth to the story. The practice dates back to earlier periods when women were not allowed to perform on stage, and it continues to be used in modern opera for its dramatic and artistic effects.
