On May 14th, just days before what would be Malcolm X's 97th birthday, Detroit Opera presented Anthony Davis' X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X. This piece, with a libretto by Thulani Davis and story by Christopher Davis, is a revision of the original 1986 work. Arthur White, Detroit Opera's Director of External Affairs, spoke with audience members following the opening night performance.

Detroit audience reaction: X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X

The astonishing life of one of the most misunderstood men in history unfolds in X: The Life and Times of Malcom X. This distinctly American opera by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Anthony Davis (Central Park Five) and directed by Tony-nominee Robert O’Hara (Slave Play) features a jazz ensemble incorporated into the orchestra and MOT 21-22 Artist-in-Residence Davóne Tines embodying the role of Malcolm X. This new production of X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X is a powerful, moving exploration of how one man’s fight to define his life on his own terms became the battle cry for justice of an entire people.
