Goerke will continue to pursue her extraordinary career as one of the world’s most esteemed dramatic sopranos. The appointment, made possible with the support of Paul & Mary Sue Ewing, Carl & Mary Ann Fontana, Elaine Fontana, and Richard Sonenklar & Gregory Haynes, is effective April 1 and extends through the 2023-24 season. Goerke will also serve as a member of the MOT leadership team, and act as a major resource on artistic matters. MOT has announced new additions to their artistic team: Associate Artistic Director Christine Goerke and Artist-in-Residence Davóne Tines. As Associate Artistic Director, Goerke will assume principal responsibility for production casting and will play a leading and collaborative role with Yuval Sharon on all musical matters, ensuring that MOT maintains the highest possible musical standards in all aspects of the company’s performances and presentations. Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana is presented in cooperation with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra Robert Xavier Rodríguez and Migdalia Cruz’s Frida is staged in MOT’s first home, Music Hall in downtown Detroit La bohème is co-produced with Boston Lyric Opera, and Anthony Davis and Thulani Davis’s X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X is co-produced with Opera Omaha. The 2021-22 season also includes collaborations with many institutional partners from communities within Metro Detroit and across the country. In keeping with Sharon’s history of interdisciplinary collaboration, the powerful programming on display this season could not have been achieved without the help of the many artists who have stepped forward over the last six months of planning. I’m thrilled to work with Wayne Brown, Christine Goerke, Davóne Tines, and the entire MOT team to bring to life a vision for opera in Detroit that is just as aspirational as it is accessible a vision that speaks to who we are now, while helping us imagine who we might become.” “One of the guiding principles of this season is bringing opera into contact with everyday life, which is especially emotional after a year of so little live performance,” says Yuval Sharon. “The verismo masterpieces of Mascagni and Puccini sought to magnify and open up the interior lives of our neighbors and fellow citizens-an urgent necessity in today’s society and so beautifully elaborated in the more contemporary visions of Anthony Davis, Jeanine Tesori, and Robert Xavier Rodriguez. “The 2021-22 season celebrates a defining moment for opera and dance in Detroit and beyond.” “The breadth of artistic appointments, collaborations, and partnerships marks a new emerging vision for MOT under the artistic leadership of Yuval Sharon, with a nod to the next 50 years,” says MOT President and CEO Wayne S. Additionally, audiences will be invited back to the Detroit Opera House-currently in the midst of a multi-year effort to improve accessibility-for its first in-person opera performances in more than two years. All of the venues this season are intentional: Detroit landmarks that have served as cultural hubs throughout the city's history. Six major events this season will take MOT throughout the community. Opera in Detroit in 2021-22 will not be limited to the Opera House, nor constrained to a traditional footprint. These affiliations are profound for the company, the community, and the art form.
MOT's 2021-22 season is a statement of principles of what opera can be: built on collaboration, a reflection of our real experiences, and a look at the familiar with fresh eyes. Using the strong groundwork cultivated since the company's 1971 founding by David DiChiera, MOT plots a distinct course for its next 50 years. Notably, soprano Christine Goerke has been named Associate Artistic Director for three years, and Davóne Tines will be Artist-in-Residence for the 2021-22 season.
