- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 23 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 23 Oct, 2026 at 10:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us for an unforgettable evening at Lyric Opera of Chicago as we experience Omar, a powerful opera by Rhiannon Giddens and Michael Abels.

This breathtaking production tells the true story of Omar ibn Said, a 19th-century West African Islamic scholar who was captured, forced across the Atlantic, and enslaved in South Carolina. Through faith, memory, language, and resistance, Omar’s story becomes a moving testament to the endurance of the human spirit. Lyric describes the work as a musical narrative woven through hymns, spirituals, bluegrass, and deeply American musical traditions.

This Lyric premiere is especially meaningful as it uplifts Black artistry, Black storytelling, and Black musical legacy on one of Chicago’s most prestigious stages. The production features Kazem Abdullah as conductor, with a cast including Issachah Savage as Omar, Kearstin Piper Brown as Julie, Zoie Reams as Fatima, and Briana Hunter as Katie Ellen/The Caller.

This is more than a night at the opera.
It is a cultural experience.
A moment of remembrance.

A celebration of Black excellence, resilience, and sacred storytelling.
