Quaminos Map is an opera that tells the story of Juba Freeman who arrives in London after winning his freedom from slavery by fighting for the British in the Revolutionary War. Thrown headfirst into British society, he meets Amelia Alumond, a member of the British Black gentry, and reconnects with other ex-enslaved who are struggling to build new lives for themselves as free men. Inspired by historical events, the opera sheds a light on a forgotten corner of history and challenges current assumptions of what life was like in 18th-century London for a person of color.Commissioned by Chicago Opera Theater, Quaminos Map is composed by the Belize-born, British-based Errollyn Wallen, with a libretto by American playwright Deborah Brevoort and will receive its world premiere performance at the Studebaker Theater in the Fine Arts Building, April 23, 29 and May 1, 2022. Conducted by Jeri Lynne Johnson with stage direction by Kimille Howard Quaminos Map stars tenor Curtis Bannister, Soprano Flora Hawk, and Bass-Baritone Damien GeterQuaminos Map is 90 minutes long and performed in English with English supertitles. General admission tickets start at $45 and can be purchased at chicagooperatheater.org
