Sam will be flying to LA this January to play Love in the exciting new opera Comet/Poppea, directed by Yuval Sharon artistic director at Detroit Opera, and presented by The Industry. Comet/Poppea is a new work conceived by Sharon that uses Monteverdi’s last opera, “The Coronation of Poppea,” as a jumping-off point for the work of another MacArthur genius, George Lewis, whose newly written opera is based on the W.E.B. Du Bois short story “The Comet.”

“Comet/Poppea” is meant to both critique and celebrate all that is unique and compelling about opera. Sharon, as he is known to do, has conceived an unconventional staging: a rotating playing space that divides the show and the audience in two. One half delves into an ancient world, with Monteverdi’s music performed by Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, and the other half dwells in the 20th century, with Lewis’ music played by American Modern Opera Company (libretto by Douglas Kearney).

This fall Samantha takes her American Patriots recital to Stuttgart, Germany! As part of the Klangram festival housed at the acclaimed German music school Staatliche Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Stuttgart— Samantha will begin her American Patriots tour with an international audience.

Samantha is thrilled to perform in her hometown of Alexandria, Virginia with acclaimed scholar, pianist, and soprano Dr. Louise Toppin. The “Seminar Recital” is an innovative performance format created by the Singing Justice Collaboratory that combines a recital, focus group, and lecture into one. Casting musical performance as an act of research and including listeners as collaborative participants in the creation of knowledge, this seminar recital on Negro Spirituals will be an immersive experience not to be missed.
