Hip H'Opera

Hip H'opera, an exciting new project by Opera Philadelphia and North Philadelphia's Art Sanctuary, brought together the North Stars and classically trained composers Jay Fluellen, Diane Monroe, Rolando Morales-Matos and Monnette Sudler.

These amazing new pieces that were created reflect, not only the raw power of the young poets' eloquent words, but the myriad beats, rhythms and sonorities of the urban experience - all as seen through the classical looking glass.
