ABOUT X: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MALCOLM X

The New England premiere of Pulitzer Prize-winner Anthony Davis’s final version of his seminal 1986 opera, with celebrated bass-baritone Davóne Tines in the titular role. Operatic writing is combined with swing, scat, modal jazz, and rap to depict the galvanic life and career of the controversial African-American activist Malcolm X (1925-1965) in a series of fast-moving vignettes. The New Yorker declared, “The work is gripping, and it is unlike any other opera.... X is a work that deserves to enter the American repertory....Not just a stirring and well-fashioned opera but one whose music adds a new, individual voice to those previously heard in our opera houses.”
