John Lewis: Good Trouble

June 18, 2027 | 7:30 pm
Music Hall • springer auditorium

Music by Maria Thompson Corley
Libretto by Diana Solomon-Glover

Sung in English with projected lyrics

Faith. conscience. courage.

Librettist Diana Solomon-Glover and composer Maria Thompson Corley weave together the heartwarming, heroic story of a boy from humble beginnings, armored only in his belief in “The Beloved Community,” who put his life on the line to secure the right to vote for all Americans. The opera weaves together two perspectives—Lewis as a young man, catalyzing the 1960s fight for civil rights, and Lewis as an elder statesman in 2012, considered to be the conscience of Congress by many on both sides of the aisle. Through it all, Lewis charged his successors and colleagues to come together to create a more just world.
