"Highways and Valleys – Two American Love Stories is a unique double bill combining voices often excluded from the operatic mainstream: the “dean of African American music,” William Grant Still, and the Jewish émigré Kurt Weill. From their marginalized positions in American society, both composers sought out the heart of American folk music and brought it into the world of opera."
Henry Ford Hospital hosts our Detroit Opera Touring Ensemble twice a month to bring music to patients, hospital staff, and visitors. Music is a healing experience in which we invite all to partake.
Detroit Opera will provid some holiday cheer for those shopping for loved ones far and near. Catch members of the touring ensemble caroling on select Satruday's in December.
