  3. Portland Opera Onscreen: Journeys to Justice


Available for 45 days, starting on Friday, APRIL 16, 2021 at 7:30PM
Directed by Chip Miller

Curated by Damien Geter

Featuring: Portland Opera's 20/21 Resident Artists-Lynnesha Crump, Jasmine Johnson, David Morgans Sanchez, Michael Parham, and Edwin Jhamal Davis; with limited instrumentation featuring members of the Portland Opera Orchestra, and members of the Portland Opera Chorus.

These compositions are about love, justice, and experiences of being a Black American. We witness moments of generational grief: a coming-of-age conversation that is a matter of life and death in The Talk, and a desperate mother's song to her baby in "Your Daddy's Son." In Two Black Churches we grieve with communities generations apart-both facing the aftermath of murder and hate crimes perpetrated by white supremacists. In Night Trip we stop at a gas station with a Black family on a road trip in Jim Crow America, and witness the lack of dignity that welcomes them. Then too, we celebrate the activism of choosing love, with the words of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Songs of Love and Justice); and the resilience that is demanded of Black women finding joy (Songs for the African Violet).
