X: The Life & Times of Malcolm X @ Seattle Opera (Seattle Center)

Activist. Orator. Husband. Leader. One of the most misunderstood figures in U.S. 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 (The Central Park Five) that fuses elements of modernism, minimalism, and jazz, X produces a sound world that is unmistakably individual. Libretto by Thulani Davis; story by Christopher Davis.

Presented in English with English captions. Audio described performance on 3/3 (see accessibility info here).
