Blue is an internationally acclaimed opera created by director and librettist Tazewell Thompson and composer Jeanine Tesori. The work explores contemporary themes through the lens of a Black family in modern-day America, focusing on the relationship between a father, who is a police officer, and his son, an activist. The production has been recognized for its emotional depth and its exploration of race, family, and injustice. Originally commissioned and produced by the Glimmerglass Festival in 2019, the production has since been seen at major houses including Washington National Opera, Dutch National Opera, and English National Opera, noted for its powerful narrative and synthesis of operatic tradition with urgent social commentary.
