NYT: The Family That Turned Malcolm X’s Life Into Opera

I saw the Detroit production referenced here. There are still some issues with the libretto but the whole makes an impact. Not a perfect opera, but a powerful one, especially in terms of music and stagecraft.

I have a ticket to see this at the Met in December

I hope that a well-made commercial DVD is made of this iteration. I would snap that one right on up.

Wish I had also mentioned it was broadcast this past Saturday at theaters around the world.
