Minnesota Opera - My Name is Florence

Minnesota Opera presents My Name is Florence, a new work exploring the life and legacy of Florence Price, one of the most significant American composers of the 20th century. This production offers an intimate look at Price's journey, from her early life in Arkansas to her struggles and triumphs as a Black woman breaking barriers in classical music. It's an opportunity to engage with her story and music in a theatrical setting. This performance takes place on Friday, January 8, 2027, at the Ordway Concert Hall within the Ordway Center for Performing Arts in St Paul. The Ordway's main hall is known for its excellent acoustics, providing a fitting environment for an opera presentation. This production should appeal to those interested in American history, classical music, and new operatic works.
