Victory Hall Opera: “From the Diary of Sally Hemings,” "Sally on West Main" May 25


Victory Hall Opera

Charlottesville, Virginia

Miriam Gordon-Stewart writes:

This evening in Charlottesville, a sold-out performance will take place of Sandra Seaton and William Bolcom’s song cycle “From the Diary of Sally Hemings” featuring Alsyon Cambridge (soprano, star of Broadway, Carnegie Hall and the Met) as Sally Hemings, with Justina Lee on piano. “Sally on West Main” is a multi-media presentation of this work, tying it to the time that Sally left Monticello at the end of her life, and moved to downtown to West Main St.
 
The production features new video from Brooklyn-based media arts Marisa Williamson, and segments from the documentary “West Main St” by Chris Farina and Reid Oechslin.
