Lincoln – The African American Connection
a new historical Civil War opera
Thanks to: The National Endowment for the Arts and the National Park Service. An “Imagine Your Parks" Project.
Synopsis: This is the story of how gospel music influenced Lincoln to sign the Emancipation Proclamation.
Abraham Lincoln (Gabriel Manro), his aide Sam Everyman (Michael Orlinski) and Mary Todd Lincoln (Krista Wigle) are essential to this story. It centers around their relationship with three African Americans. Lori Willis sings the part of Mary Lincoln’s closest friend, Elizabeth Keckley, a renowned black designer who never got the credit for completely refurbishing the White House in 1862. Aunt Mary Dines, a gospel singer and the Lincoln boys’ nanny invited the president to hear her gospel choir sing in a secret Forest Campground. History reports that “Lincoln wept" and shortly after that he signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Noah Griffin plays Frederick Douglass, the famous abolitionist and friend to Lincoln. Griffin sings in the opera and also is Narrator.

Lincoln – The African American Connection
a new historical Civil War opera
Thanks to: The National Endowment for the Arts and the National Park Service. An “Imagine Your Parks" Project.
Synopsis: This is the story of how gospel music influenced Lincoln to sign the Emancipation Proclamation.
Abraham Lincoln (Gabriel Manro), his aide Sam Everyman (Michael Orlinski) and Mary Todd Lincoln (Krista Wigle) are essential to this story. It centers around their relationship with three African Americans. Lori Willis sings the part of Mary Lincoln’s closest friend, Elizabeth Keckley, a renowned black designer who never got the credit for completely refurbishing the White House in 1862. Aunt Mary Dines, a gospel singer and the Lincoln boys’ nanny invited the president to hear her gospel choir sing in a secret Forest Campground. History reports that “Lincoln wept" and shortly after that he signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Noah Griffin plays Frederick Douglass, the famous abolitionist and friend to Lincoln. Griffin sings in the opera and also is Narrator.
