The Kennedy Center has unveiled the first installment of its “Come, Hope” series, an initiative by the Washington National Opera inspired by Beethoven’s “Fidelio.”
The video, entitled “Monuments of Hope” features mezzo-soprano J’Nai Bridges and bass-baritone Ryan McKinny performing in front of D.C.’s most iconic monuments including the World War II Memorial, the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Sith & I Historic Synagogue, the Hall of Nations, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, the Islamic Center of Washington, the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center, and Vietnam Women’s Memorial, among others.
