Screening | Metropolitan Opera in HD: Anthony Davis's X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X (outdoors)


Anthony Davis's groundbreaking opera, which premiered in 1986, arrived at the Met during the 2023-24 season. Robert O'Hara, who was nominated for a Tony Award in 2020 for his direction of Slave Play, oversaw a new staging that imagines Malcolm as an everyman whose story transcends time and space. A cast of breakout artists take part in the operatic retelling of Malcom X's life. Baritone Will Liverman, who triumphed in the Met premiere of Terence Blanchard's Fire Shut Up in My Bones, sings Malcolm. Soprano Leah Hawkins plays his mother, Louise, as well as his wife, Betty; mezzo-soprano Raehann Bryce-Davis is his sister Ella; bass-baritone Michael Sumuel is his brother Reginald; and tenor Victor Ryan Robertson is Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad. Kazem Abdullah conducts the newly revised score, which provides a layered, jazz-inflected setting for the esteemed writer Thulani Davis's libretto. This performance is from November 18, 2023.
