From classic films like Carmen Jones to contemporary works like The
Diary of Sally Hemings and U-Carmen eKhayelitsa, American and South
African artists and composers have used opera to reclaim black
people's place in history. Naomi Andre draws on the experiences of
performers and audiences to explore this music's resonance with
today's listeners. Interacting with creators and performers, as
well as with the works themselves, Andre reveals how black opera
unearths suppressed truths. These truths provoke complex, if
uncomfortable, reconsideration of racial, gender, sexual, and other
oppressive ideologies. Opera, in turn, operates as a cultural and
political force that employs an immense, transformative power to
represent or even liberate. Viewing opera as a fertile site for
critical inquiry, political activism, and social change, Black
Opera lays the foundation for innovative new approaches to applied
scholarship.
