On May 14th, just days before what would be Malcolm X's 97th birthday, Detroit Opera presented Anthony Davis' X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X. This piece, with a libretto by Thulani Davis and story by Christopher Davis, is a revision of the original 1986 work. Arthur White, Detroit Opera's Director of External Affairs, spoke with audience members following the opening night performance.

Detroit audience reaction: X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X

The astonishing life of one of the most misunderstood men in history unfolds in X: The Life and Times of Malcom X. This distinctly American opera by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Anthony Davis (Central Park Five) and directed by Tony-nominee Robert O’Hara (Slave Play) features a jazz ensemble incorporated into the orchestra and MOT 21-22 Artist-in-Residence Davóne Tines embodying the role of Malcolm X. This new production of X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X is a powerful, moving exploration of how one man’s fight to define his life on his own terms became the battle cry for justice of an entire people.

X, the life and times of Malcolm X by Davis, Anthony, Thu 19 May 2022, From (2022/2022), Directed by Robert O´Hara,, Conductor Kazem Abdullah, Detroit Opera House, Detroit, United States
