Lucia Lucas made history with her acclaimed May 2019 performance in the title role of Tulsa Opera’s “Don Giovanni,” and now, a documentary about how that casting happened has premiered.

Lucas became the first transgender singer to perform a leading role with a U.S. opera company, and that process is just part of her story in the film.

The documentary, “The Sound of Identity,” was produced by Tulsans Russ Kirkpatrick and Andy Kinslow.

The pair found a number of film festivals interested in the documentary, which focuses on Lucas’ time in Tulsa and her collaboration with Tulsa Opera Artistic Director Tobias Picker.

The feature-length film screened at the OUTshine Film Festival in Miami, Florida, and on Sunday, it won top honors, Kirkpatrick said.

“We are excited to get this Tulsa-based film into the world,” he said. “We will plan to have a premiere in Tulsa (at) an undetermined date. We will want to have Lucia Lucas and Tobias Picker at that showing.”

Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro (“The Shape of Water”) is teaming up with Netflix for a stop-motion animated musical version of “Pinocchio,” and Tulsa actor Tim Blake Nelson will be among the cast members.
