San Diego Veteran Kandis Chappell Makes Lyric Opera Debut in “A Little Night Music”


San Diego theater fans will be delighted to learn a beloved local veteran, Kandis Chappell, is finally coming to our stage as Madame Armfeldt in “A Little Night Music”!

Kandis grew up in San Diego and is an Associate Artist of the Old Globe Theatre. She did her first show as a prop girl there and has since appeared in more than 25 Old Globe productions. She has performed in numerous productions at South Coast Rep in Costa Mesa, and earned Los Angeles Drama Critics’ Circle Awards for Outstanding Lead Performance for four of those shows, more than any other actor. The productions for which she was recognized show her tremendous range: “The Crucible,” “Shadowlands,” “Woman in Mind,” and “Collected Stories.”

Outside San Diego, Kandis has worked at theatres across the country including Lincoln Center, the Huntington in Boston, Milwaukee Rep, Seattle Rep, ACT in San Francisco, the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, and North Coast Rep in Solana Beach. We can’t wait to see her Lyric Opera San Diego debut in this wonderful role of Madame Armfeldt, who acts as a sort of dramatic compass in this wonderful show, Feb. 12-21 at the Birch North Park Theatre. If you haven’t bought your tickets yet, do it today!
