A Modern Opera That Grapples With Race
Sunday at 7 p.m.
Opera Philadelphia’s 2017 production of “We Shall Not Be Moved” will stream online for the first time, as part of the new opera streaming project Digital Festival O and in partnership with the Apollo Theater. The show, directed by Bill T. Jones and with music by Daniel Bernard Roumain, was named one of the best classical music performances of 2017 by The New York Times. It’s “a raw, powerful opera” that “tackles issues of race and inequality by looking back at an infamous 1985 incident in which Philadelphia police bombed a rowhouse occupied by a group of black separatists,” The Times wrote, adding that Roumain “deftly folded gospel, funk, jazz and classical styles into his arresting score.”
When: 7 p.m., and will be available to stream through Aug. 31.
