    WQXR Navigation

    Terrance McKnight: This is Every Voice with Terrance McKnight on WQXR. It’s a radio special that looks at the representations of blackness in Verdi’s opera Aida.  Growing up I played two instruments, trumpet and piano, and eventually both instruments led me towards the experience of classical music, going to the concert hall, the place where the symphony orchestra performed.  But the opera stage felt out of my comfort zone until I got to college and enrolled in music.  

     

    At Morehouse College we were taught that education was an uncomfortable experience; ain’t that the truth, because when I went to see Aida, not only was I uncomfortable but I was upset.  What happened was, I took a friend whom I assumed would be heartened to see this opera, my friend was East African, and I thought the opera would provide a sense of home. Well before too long she leaned over and said, “T … why are the Ethiopians Black, and Egyptians white, and why are the Ethiopians chained as slaves?”  I didn’t know what to say, but I know what to say now, and that’s what we’re talking about in the radio special from the podcast Every Voice with Terrance McKnight.
