X, the life and times of Malcolm X Davis,A

Opera is grand. Opera is big, and opera tells epic stories traditionally, and the journey of Malcolm X's life is as epic of a story as anyone that I think is in the traditional repertoire."
 
Kenneth Kellogg, who plays Malcolm X in our upcoming production of X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X, talks about why telling Malcolm X's story as an opera can change our understanding of him, and important aspects of this historic leader we might come away with after the curtain closes. 
 
X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X opens February 24 and runs through March 9 at McCaw Hall.

X, the life and times of Malcolm X Davis, Anthony

Music by Anthony Davis; Libretto by Thulani Davis; Story by Christopher Davis

Activist. Orator. Husband. Leader. One of the most misunderstood figures in US history, Malcolm X was an icon of the civil rights movement. Get to know the man through a series of biographical vignettes that follow Malcolm X from his interrupted childhood in Lansing, Michigan to his tragic murder in Harlem. With a score by Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer Anthony Davis (Central Park Five) that fuses elements of modernism, minimalism, and jazz, X produces a sound world that is unmistakably individual.

Kenneth Kellogg and Joshua Stewart return to McCaw Hall as Malcolm and Elijah/Street in this "riveting and uncompromising work" (The New Yorker) that is being restored to the operatic canon in a coproduction with Detroit Opera, Opera Omaha, and The Metropolitan Opera.
