With Independence Eve, American Opera Projects explores ideas of racial identity and acceptance in America. Through three scenes set in 1963, 2013 and 2063, two singers -- Brandon Snook and Jorell Williams -- deliver a study of black and white America, offering commentary on the intricacies of race relations and the persistent stain of racism. The duo will portray new characters in each scene, grappling with issues of race in the past, present and future. With music by Sidney Marquez Boquiren and libretto by Daniel Neer, this thought-provoking work makes its world premiere at The ARK at Arlington's Signature Theatre.
