Every Voice
As an opera fan (and former opera house employee) I find this series so important. It is both painful, refreshing, and critical giving the listener a comprehensive understanding about how many art forms, no matter how beautiful, continue to perpetuate negative stereotypes, especially when it comes to people of color. I hope that you will continue to explore opera and other classical music forms through this lens. I think this offers a challenge to producers and directors of “beloved” works of opera to find ways to expose, reveal, and mitigate some of the harm done to date by finding ways of reversing or eliminating the inherently racist tropes offered to opera audiences by finding ways to re-interpret or re-shape the work.

This is such an important, necessary, brilliant conversation. I would recommend it for anyone, especially those of us in the opera world.

We are so lucky to have performing artists like WQXR’s MCKnight to explore music, arts and culture with such remarkable and inclusive range. As a lifelong learner of the African diaspora I can’t wait for this journey to begin!
