Washington National Opera presents Blue, a contemporary opera about racism in the United States today, with a libretto by Tazewell Thompson and music by Jeanine Tesori. Blue tells the tragic story of an African-American police officer whose son is killed by a fellow officer during a demonstration. The play, which strongly alludes to the Black Lives Matter movement, is equally groundbreaking on the opera stage thanks to its intimate and multi-layered portrayal of African American family life
Historically and musically, Blue compassionately tells a story that is equally painful and identifiable for many of us. The Music Critics Association of America named Blue the "Best New Opera" of 2020, while the Financial Times praised it as "an extraordinarily powerful new opera about race in America" and called Tesori's music "eclectic but assured, full of beauty and eloquence."
The piece is sung by an excellent cast of singers, including Kenneth Kellogg as the father, Briana Hunter as the mother and Aaron Crouch as the son, while the Washington National Opera Orchestra is led by rising conductor Roderick Cox.
