Opera Talk: The Making of X @ Seattle Opera (Seattle Center)

Learn how Malcolm X, a monumental figure of the civil rights movement, inspired the Davis family team of creators to adapt his story for the opera stage. Moderated by the Opera’s scholar-in-residence, Dr. Naomi André, this talk will feature Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Anthony Davis, librettist Thulani Davis, and story writer Christopher Davis as they discuss the genesis of X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X and reflect on the continued significance of this work nearly four decades after its premiere. In the Opera Center.
