Black Lives Matter, police brutality, rigged elections... over the past year these themes have been an integral part of current affairs. In The Time of Our Singing, based on the book of the same name by Richard Powers, recent American history finds a special sounding board. The work tells the story of a racially mixed family that, against the background of post-war segregation in the US, is connected and driven apart by music.

Together with librettist Peter van Kraaij , conductor Kwamé Ryan and director Ted Huffman , LOD composer  Kris Defoort opens an imaginary place where great and small history meet, where people come together and tell a story, where jazz and classical music enrich each other.

“As far as I know, it is not often that a contemporary opera is so strongly anchored in the now and yet also addresses so many universal themes.” (Kris Defort)

English

Black Lives Matter, police brutality, rigged elections... het afgelopen jaar waren deze thema’s niet weg te branden uit de actualiteit. In The Time of Our Singing, naar het gelijknamige boek van Richard Powers, vindt de recente Amerikaanse geschiedenis een bijzonder klankbord. Het werk vertelt het verhaal van een raciaal gemengd gezin dat, tegen de achtergrond van de naoorlogse segregatie in de VS, verbonden én uit elkaar gedreven wordt door de muziek.

Samen met librettist Peter van Kraaij, dirigent Kwamé Ryan en regisseur Ted Huffman opent LOD-componist Kris Defoort een imaginaire plek waar de grote en de kleine geschiedenis elkaar vinden, waar mensen samenkomen en een verhaal vertellen, waar jazz en klassieke muziek elkaar verrijken.

“Bij mijn weten gebeurt het niet vaak dat een hedendaagse opera zo sterk verankerd is in het nu en toch ook zoveel universele thema’s aankaart.” (Kris Defoort)
