Stephen Costello discusses his role as Ishmael, or “the Greenhorn,” in the San Francisco Opera production of “Moby-Dick.” Watch scenes of his duet with Jonathan Lemalu as Queequeg, and Costello’s aria, “Human Madness.”
“I love my aria, ‘Human Madness’ because it’s one of the only times that you can sing on stage with the orchestra with just one instrument playing; the only thing that’s underneath me is the oboe.”
