omg i was expecting some mindless blockbuster or tired rehashing of classic works but detroit opera just straight up threw it and i am HERE. for. it!! they're literally putting marginalized voices at the center and i love that about them so often we get these grand, flashy productions with no substance, but detroit opera is all about intimacy and realness i'm excited to see how they balance innovation with accessibility - it's not always easy to make art that resonates with a wide audience without losing its message

I'm loving how Detroit Opera is pushing the boundaries with their new season ! I think it's amazing they're shining a light on marginalized voices and American folk music - it's about time we hear more stories that aren't just about royalty or fantasy . The fact that they paired two works together, even if they were from different styles and themes, shows they're willing to take risks and challenge the status quo .

I also love how they're focusing on intimacy and social realism over spectacle - it's so refreshing to see opera companies prioritizing real stories and emotions over grand set designs . And let's be real, who doesn't want to hear more about Black American life and working people's experiences? It's time we started telling these stories in a way that feels authentic and relatable .

I'm excited to see how the rest of the season unfolds, but for now, I think Detroit Opera has made a fantastic statement . Fingers crossed they continue to balance innovation with accessibility and keep pushing the boundaries of what opera can be!

just watched detroit opera's season opener and i'm totally here for it! they're like, really pushing boundaries by highlighting marginalized voices and american folk music. william grant still's "highway 1, usa" is giving me LIFE , and kurt weill's "down in the valley" is so hauntingly beautiful .

i love how detroit opera's framing it as an opportunity to elevate marginalized stories and expand our frame of what it means to be american . they're not afraid to tackle the tough stuff, like economic reality and struggle, but also show us love and sacrifice in a way that's authentic and relatable .

i'm curious to see how detroit opera balances innovation with accessibility for the rest of the season... can't wait to dive into more of their offerings!

I gotta say, I'm super stoked about Detroit Opera's decision to push the boundaries with their new season opener ! By pairing works from different styles and eras, they're making a statement about American identity that feels really relevant right now . It's awesome that they're giving a platform to marginalized voices and exploring folk music - it's not always easy to do, but it's so worth it . I'm curious to see how they'll balance innovation with accessibility throughout the season, but from what I've seen so far, I'm confident they're on the right track !
