< Historic moment! Malcolm X at the Metropolitan Opera >
This day is finally here!
At the Metropolitan Opera House, the most elegant in New York.
An opera depicting "Malcolm X", a radical activist based in Harlem during the civil rights movement, has opened!
It was written in 1983
I can't keep up with the times
Although it will be performed
Although it took 40 years
The place where it will be performed
The Metropolitan Opera stands beautifully and majestically in the center of Lincoln Center, one of the world's leading arts facilities. . .
I wonder what Malcolm X would have thought if he were alive.
Nowadays, you can enter any Broadway musical even if you wear jeans and sandals.
The Metropolitan Opera is the only place where there are still people dressed up in dresses and tuxedos (there are also people in casual clothes).
On opening night
Malcolm X's daughter
Nas is a big hip hop star from New York.
human rights activist Al Sharpton
They also appeared in formal attire.
It will only be performed for one month, so if you are visiting New York during this time, please come and see it.
"THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MALCOLM X"
11/3 (Thursday) - 12/2 (Sat)
Currently being performed at the Metropolitan Opera
