Nathaniel Dett Chorale | Voices of the Diaspora – Harriet Tubman: The Opera
February 7, 2020 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
$30.00
HARRIET TUBMAN: WHEN I CROSSED THAT LINE TO FREEDOM is a two act opera that tells of how a young girl born in slavery, becomes Harriet Tubman, the legendary Underground Railroad conductor.
Based on recent Tubman biographies, the story is told in the context of Tubman’s tight-knit family of lively characters. HARRIET TUBMAN carries the universal themes of sisterhood, courage, sacrifice and doing what is necessary to keep a family together.
Moreover it is a heartwarming tale of two sisters vowing that nothing but death will separate them, despite the slavery threatening to tear them apart.
