Join us for a candid conversation, co-sponsored by the Lyric Opera of Chicago, School of Communication and Black Arts Consortium, which brings together Grammy-nominated Baritone Will Liverman (FIRE SHUT UP IN MY BONES) and Producer/DJ and multi-instrumentalist DJ King Rico, to talk about the creation of their opera, THE FACTOTUM, which will run February 3 – 12th at the Harris Theater. This new work commissioned by Lyric is inspired by Rossini’s Barber of Seville and has grown into a joyful, original piece all its own. Set in a barber shop on the South Side of Chicago, The Factotum blends diverse musical styles with boundless imagination to create a soul opera, moving from gospel and funk to rap, hip-hop, classic barbershop quartet, and R&B.
Please note this event is being presented on the CHICAGO CAMPUS in Abbott Hall, 710 N. Lake Shore Drive. Main entrance located on the southeast corner of Lake Shore Drive and Superior Street.
