Virginia Opera

In celebration of Black History Month, the Library of Virginia will present two free events in support of the Virginia Opera world-premiere production of “Loving v. Virginia.” A legal panel discussion on Wednesday, Feb. 26 at 6 p.m. and a performance on Wednesday, March 5 at 2 p.m. will be offered in conjunction with the opera’s May 9–11 performances at Dominion Energy Center for the Performing Arts?in Richmond. “Loving v. Virginia” is based on the true story of Mildred and Richard Loving, a young couple from Central Point, Virginia, who were criminally charged for their interracial marriage in 1958 and forced to leave the state to avoid prison sentences. The Lovings took their case to the Supreme Court and won a landmark victory for Civil Rights in the United States. Co-commissioned by Virginia Opera and the Richmond Symphony and directed by Denyce Graves-Montgomery, “Loving v. Virginia” features music by Damien Geter and libretto by Jessica Murphy Moo. Register for the Feb. 26 event at https://lnkd.in/ewj97_AM and the Mar. 5 event at https://lnkd.in/eT_U927X. #BlackHistoryMonth #opera #RVA #performance #Loving #VirginiaHistory

"For many of my students, Carmen was their first opera experience.

This "life-changing" show hits the stage this Saturday and Sunday at the Center for the Arts at George Mason University, and our FINAL performances are next weekend in Richmond at Dominion Energy Center for the Performing Arts!
