Celebrate the arts with Edmonia tickets. The opera, commissioned in 2000 by prized author Toni Morrison and American poet Yusef Komunyakaa, tells the story of sculptor Edmonia Lewis, an artist of African American and Native American (Ojibwe) descent. Edmonia chronicles her extraordinary work and journey around the world in the face of racism and the Civil War era. The opera features music by composer and pianist Bill Banfield with contributions from a creative team, including conductor Joseph Joubert, playwright Thulani Davis, historian Marilyn Richardson and others. The two-act opera covers Lewis’s life in the United States and her travels abroad, from Oberlin, Ohio, to Rome, Italy.
A self-taught 19th-century sculptor, Edmonia Lewis created a memorable body of work, including “The Death of Cleopatra,” an over two-ton marble statue carved in 1876, now residing in the Smithsonian. Edmonia reveals the woman behind many captivating creations and spotlights the struggles and inspirations that followed her life and career.
