WORLD
PREMIERE! Harriet Tubman: When I Crossed That Line to Freedom is a two
act folk opera by Nkeiru Okoye that tells how a young girl born in
slavery becomes the legendary Underground Railroad conductor, Harriet
Tubman (Metropolitan Opera's Janinah Burnett). Based on recent Tubman
biographies, the story is narrated and told in the context of Tubman’s
tight-knit family of lively characters. Harriet Tubman carries the
universal themes of sisterhood, courage, sacrifice and doing what is
necessary to keep a family together. Moreover it is a heartwarming tale
of two sisters vowing that nothing but death will separate them, despite
the slavery threatening to tear them apart. www.operaprojects.org/tubman
