Kanye West’s second opera is coming to New York.
Like its predecessor, Mary takes on a biblical theme, with its narrative centering around the birth of Jesus Christ. A press release cites that the Books of Matthew and Luke are the basis for Mary’s story, and likely served as a primary source of inspiration. Once again, Mary will feature original music performed by the Sunday Service Choir. The event, which promises to combine the worlds of “opera, fine art, modern dance, and gospel music,” is set to premiere at the Lincoln Center on Sunday, December 22nd.
