Deepen your connection to opera throughout the 2025-2026 Season! These special, artist-driven events get you closer to the artists and their process in the intimate setting of the Luminary Arts Center.About the event:
Composer Florence Price made history as the first Black woman to have a symphony performed by a major U.S. orchestra. Minnesota Opera will tell her story in its 51st world premiere, "My Name is Florence", with music by B.E. Boykin and libretto by Harrison David Rivers.
We invite you to experience Florence Price’s story through her own music. Members of the Minnesota Opera Orchestra, Principal Coach & Chorus Director Celeste Marie Johnson, and 2nd year Resident Artist mezzo-soprano Kara Morgan will perform chamber and vocal music composed by Price, who boldly blended her classical music training with the power and vulnerability of spirituals in so much of her work.
