MN Opera's The Song Poet: "Love is the reason we're alive"

A father’s love, a family’s journey.
The first Hmong story adapted for the operatic stage, St. Paul writer Kao Kalia Yang’s memoir The Song Poet comes to life in this world premiere. It tells the story of Yang’s family and her song poet father as war drives them from the mountains of Laos into a Thai refugee camp and ultimately on to the challenging world of life as a refugee. With his poetry, Kalia’s father inspires hope in his family, polishing their reality so that they might shine.

The Song Poet by Hagen, J., From (2023/2023), Directed by Rick Shiomi,, Luminary Arts Center, Minneapolis, United States
