SUMMARY:Omar - Johnson/Owen - Lyric Opera of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Lyric premiere\nMacArthur “Genius Grant” recipient Rhiannon Giddens and celebrated co-composer Michael Abels bring their profoundly moving story of the human spirit to Lyric Opera of Chicago. \nInspired by the memoir of 19th-century Islamic scholar Omar ibn Said\, this breathtaking work spins a musical narrative of Omar’s capture in West Africa\, journey across the Atlantic Ocean\, and enslavement in South Carolina\, where he confronts his circumstances and challenges his faith through a series of indelible writings. \nDirector Kaneza Schaal’s austere\, impactful presentation foregrounds Giddens and Abels’ Pulitzer Prize-winning score — a tapestry of musical traditions weaving together hymns\, spirituals\, and bluegrass — to tell a fundamentally American story. \n\n\nLanguage: Sung in English with projected English titles\nRunning Time: 2 hours 40 minutes\, including 1 intermission\nLocation: Lyric Opera House\nComposers: Rhiannon Giddens and Michael Abels\nLibrettist: Rhiannon Giddens
