Breeches Role
A breeches role (also pants role or trouser role, or Hosenrolle) is one in which an actress appears in male clothing.

Both are part of the long history of cross-dressing in music and opera and later in film and television. In opera, a breeches role refers to any male character that is sung and acted by a female singer. Most often the character is an adolescent or a very young man, sung by a mezzo-soprano or contralto.

Cross-dressing female characters (e.g., Leonore in ''Fidelio'' or Gilda in Act III ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
