The brilliant Ira Siff assumes the identity of Mme. Galupe-Borszkh, prima donna of La Gran Scena Opera Company. "In her courageous commitment to challenging gender barriers as she champions venerable performing-arts stereotypes, Mme. Galupe-Borszkh is equaled perhaps only by the Ballets Trocadero de Monte Carlo and Dame Edna Everage. But . . .
