This production is the first to stage La bohème in reverse, marking an impressive creative milestone for Detroit Opera as part of our vision for The Next 50.
Presented in the Detroit Opera House in a co-production with Boston Lyric Opera and Spoleto Festival USA, this bold, unconventional take on Puccini’s opus is itself a bohemian work of art: experimental, nonconforming, original. Our favorite starving young artists and lovers survive to hope another day. From finish to start, from death to the promise of new love, from loneliness and despair to the joy of friendships, wine, and song, this reversal presents the characters and arias we love in a refreshing, new vision of the story. 31 or do we go from tragedy to hope? From death to life? From loneliness to love? In this visionary treatment of Puccini’s opus La bohème, Detroit Opera does just that - by presenting the opera in reverse order. 23 at the Detroit Opera House, 1526 Broadway St. Garland adds that Wonder’s songs “were instrumental in my seven- and eight-year-old imagination…His spirit runs in courses through the entire work.” In addition to the title track, “Higher Ground” includes dances set to “Living For the City,” “You Haven’t Done Nothin’” and “Saturn.”ĭTH will also present the ballet “Passages” along with “Higher Ground” during performances at 7:30 p.m. It does start in a moment and move towards higher ground…The Black Lives Matter movement is all we need to see there’s much work to be done.” “Higher Ground,” set to socially conscious selections from the catalog of Motown great Stevie Wonder, “is less resistant art, more aspirational I would say,” according to Garland. “I honestly feel this is kind of…wrapping up all the lessons that have been learned,” Garland, DTH’s resident choreographer, said during a visit last month to Detroit. But creator Robert Garland feels that his piece - having its world premiere this weekend at the Detroit Opera House - has been enhanced by the events of the past 22 months. The Dance Theatre of Harlem began working on its new ballet, “Higher Ground,” prior to the pandemic.
