Episode Synopsis

This month the Opera Theatre of St. Louis is producing a new opera by one of the world’s most-celebrated living playwrights. Lynn Nottage — the only woman so far to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama twice — wrote the libretto for “This House” with her daughter, Ruby Aiyo Gerber. The opera looks at African American history through the intersecting powers of memory and place.
