Opera Blue The Mother and The Girlfriends | Dutch National Opera

A powerful portrait of an African-American family
Dutch National Opera presents the European premiere of Blue , an opera by the Tony Award-winning American composer Jeanine Tesori and American librettist and director Tazewell Thompson. Inspired by today's America and black literature, they tell about a community in turbulent times, which finds support and strength in togetherness. A devastating event leads to sadness, but also to connection, in which the shared music plays an important role.

 The opera, which had its world premiere during the Glimmerglass festival in July 2019, was overtaken by reality by the events surrounding George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement that spread around the world and for which countless people took to the streets in Amsterdam. An opera on the cutting edge, which partly because of this won the Music Critics Association of North America Award for Best New Opera in 2020.
