| Stephanie Blythe's compact disc Handel/J.S. Bach on Virgin was one of the best recital recordings of 2001 according to Opera News of January 2002. |
| Stephanie Blythe and William Burden sang in performances of Rossini's L'Italiana in Algeri at the Santa Fe Opera during the summer 2002. In a review for The New Mexican, dated July 2, 2002, Craig Smith wrote: "She deftly manipulated her big mezzo through the cascading scales and roulades, but the smoothness of her lyric singing impressed me even more." |

| "At Ms. Blythe's side almost constantly, watching devotedly, is her husband, David Smith-Larsen, a former professional wrestler and now an actor. They met when she was singing Mistress Quickly in the Paris Opera's production of 'Falstaff,' in 1999. Mr. Smith-Larsen was the innkeeper, a nonsinging role. Sparks flew."--from an article by Dinitia Smith in the New York Times of October 9, 2003. |
