Rethinking access to the arts! Opera Philadelphia ditched fixed ticket prices and let the audience choose how much they pay. The result? The only SOLD-OUT opera company in America, says Anthony Roth Costanzo, and a theater buzzing with diverse audiences.

Explore the music and influences of Davóne Tines’ The Black Clown at this engaging talk with Opera Philadelphia’s Scholar-in-Residence Dr. Lily Kass.

🗓️ Saturday, May 9
🕰️ 1:00pm
📍The Athenæum
🎟️FREE and open to all
❌ Tickets to performance are not included

ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE
Philadelphia Premiere
An adaptation of the Langston Hughes poem by the same name
Co-created by Davóne Tines, Michael Schachter, and Zack Winokur
Presented in Partnership with ArKtype
Original music by Michael Schachter
Directed by Zack Winokur
Choreographed by Chanel DaSilva
Performed in English

Creator and opera revolutionary Davóne Tines - @alsoanoperasinger - brings Langston Hughes’ poem “The Black Clown” to musical life in a vaudevillian rendering of this masterpiece. Fusing gospel, opera, jazz, and spirituals into a searing night of theatrical brilliance, The Black Clown embodies the evolving, divided soul of Black America and animates a Black man’s resilience against a legacy of oppression. The Black Clown has been hailed as “pure poetry” by The Boston Globe, and The New York Times lauds “this rich, seamless production melds the past and present of African-American history into an electrifyingly ambivalent whole.” Tines makes his Opera Philadelphia debut alongside an ensemble of 12 performers in this genre-bending, visually arresting piece, juxtaposing dazzling cathartic performances with Hughes’ enduring work.

All tickets are Pick Your Price, starting at $11. Any amount above $11 helps support other operagoers and the work we present on stage.

@operaphila has partnered with @artreachphilly and Nicole Sardella to provide Audio Description for this production on May 17.
