Anthony Davis’s jazz-inflected opera arrives at the Met in a staging by Tony-nominated director Robert O’Hara, which imagines Malcolm—portrayed by baritone Will Liverman—as an everyman whose story transcends time and space. Kazem Abdullah conducts.
Content Advisory: X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X contains strong language.
Good music and good singing, but a limited range for the writing & orchestra in terms of mood and dynamic causes it to seem very slow. Some scenes are extremely long. Bravo to Will Liverman, Leah Hawkins, Hopkins, and Raehann Bryce-Davis-- fine singing & portrayals
Ambitious. Stunning. Groundbreaking. Don’t miss the rebroadcast.
