MET Opera presents live on screen, X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X on Saturday, November 18 at 12:55 P.M. Run time is 3:45 P.M. in the Martin Lipscomb Theater. Anthony Davis’s groundbreaking and influential opera, which premiered in 1986, arrives at the Met at long last. Theater luminary and Tony-nominated director of Slave Play Robert O’Hara oversees a potent new staging that imagines Malcolm as an everyman whose story transcends time and space. An exceptional cast of breakout artists and young Met stars enliven the operatic retelling of the civil rights leader’s life.
The Friday after Thanksgiving kicks off the Holiday Season with the Fortunate Sons, Creedence Clearwater Revival Tribute –November 24 at 7:30 P.M. Come re-live songs like “Born on Bayou”, “Run Through the Jungle” and “Susie Q” and go on an expressive near psychedelic journey of guitar musings. This is an excellent representation of the C.C.R.’s improvisational influences of the day. Other songs like “Bad Moon Rising,” “Down On the Corner” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” showcase the band’s commitment to songwriting and the craft it demands. You’re invited to join in on classic sing-a-longs like “Up Around the Bend,” “Lookin’ Out My Backdoor,” “Long As I Can See the Light” and more.
Tickets are available at HighlandsPerformingArts.com.
