Info:
In honor of Black History Month, Baltimore Concert Opera presents the Emmy® winning program,“This Little Light of Mine,” originally commissioned by Cincinnati Opera and written and performed by soprano Adrienne Danrich. “This Little Light of Mine” is an inventive one-woman musical tribute honoring the ground-breaking careers of two African-American opera legends who overcame many racial barriers from the Jim Crow era through the Civil Rights Movement to become international opera stars. Marian Anderson became the first African-American singer to perform at The Metropolitan Opera House in New York and Leontyne Price would take that torch and carry it to The Metropolitan Opera and the most prestigious opera houses around the world. Best described as a ‘live documentary’, Ms. Danrich narrates the remarkable story with moving dialogue and songs and arias that bring the accomplishments of these two great women to audiences that will never hear them ‘live’. In addition to her storytelling ability and the beauty of her voice, Ms. Danrich creatively documents the lives of the two artist/pioneers by showing poignant multi-media images of the pair at different stages in their lives and playing audio excerpts of some of their most famous recordings.
