The Chronicle of Nine
Lyric soprano Megan Pachecano sang Lady Jane, supplying precise articulation, lush vibrato and typecast physical presence to the role. Her surrounding cast proved equally impressive. The dark vocal textures of mezzo Rebecca Krouner (Jane’s mother, Frances Grey) and contralto Stephanie Kacoyanis (her “rival” and successor, “Bloody” Princess Mary Tudor) balanced Pachecano’s lyricism admirably.
