Washington National Opera - We the People

Washington National Opera’s We the People is a concert celebration of opera’s stirring music and humanity’s enduring longing for liberty. Led by conductor Robert Spano, the program brings together soprano Renée Fleming, baritone Thomas Hampson and soprano Amber R. Monroe, the company’s Marian Anderson Award recipient. Its musical journey ranges from Verdi’s Nabucco to Il Trovatore, drawing on the grand emotional sweep of the operatic repertoire. The mix of celebrated voices and music shaped by themes of freedom gives the evening a clear thread: familiar operatic power in service of an idea that still resonates.
