(De)coloniality: Opera & Music Theatre

"The Journal of Black Opera and Music Theatre is the new official journal of the Black Opera Research Network (BORN) and will begin as an annual (one-issue per year) publication. We welcome submissions on opera and other forms of music theatre that center #Blackness as a subject, methodology, identity construction or critical lens."

Deadline: 01/03/2024

Today's post is a collection of videos about Scott Joplin's "lost" opera, Treemonisha, which I saw performed in Toronto on Thursday. I bet you didn't know Joplin had written an opera. Neither did I, but I'm glad he did, and sorry he never got to see it performed.
