From the award-winning team of librettist Tazewell Thompson and composer Jeanine Tesori comes Blue, a portrait of contemporary African American life: of love and loss, church, sisterhood, and most importantly, family. How far would you be willing to go for true love? Firm in his faith that music is stronger than death, the devoted Orpheus descends into the underworld to rescue his wife Eurydice. January 12‒30, 2022 at Tagney Jones Hall. An audience favorite for over a century, this tale of four young Parisians who dedicate their lives to art and love is guaranteed to touch your heart.
