Prologue (instrumental)
– Urgent! – Drop ev’rything!
I was in the heyday of being in love
Damn, girl!
You married a cop?
I love him
What about your obsession?
I’m gonna strap my baby on my back
You havin’ a what?
– Forgive our sistah. – She knows not what she do
Birth that baby boy to term
Ha. Ha ha ha
I’m having this boy. I’m keeping this boy close
We wish on ev’rything you can wish on
Scrape the wax off your wings
Transition to Scene 2 (instrumental)
How you doin’, baby?
I’m somebody’s mother
Hello…Mom!
Cup your hand under his head and neck
Hello...Hello, my son
Go, go, go!
– Halftime! – We’re all yours, buddy
How do you feel?
Welcome to the daddy club!
How did you produce a son?
I’ve got a baby boy
Here’s a toast
Introduction (instrumental)
You not getting off that easy
Yes, sir! Got my own private warden
Moved up here so you could spread out and be by yourself
No! New York is the richest city in the world
Stat Stat Statue of Liberty
The world done change
– What am I supposed to do? – Stay alive
You alive, ain’t you?
I am out there in the jungle
Whatcha gonna do?
– Let me go. – No, my son, I will never let you go
What is your name, my son?
Ah! You are the father whose child was lost
Ah! Your heart is broken, I hear it knocking against your ribs
This is my badge
When my boy was taken from me
I did not come here seeking redemption
Only a white God
You are walking in a terrible darkness, my son
May restoring waters clear the night’s weeping
In my hour of need I seek no salvation from you
Come away from the window
She sits in this matchbox disguised as a house
She was lying in her bed. In her own home. In her bed
– Look at her. – She wears the captive shroud of stony death
Let us go forth
Oh God! Bring my baby back
God, give me back any part of my baby
My heart…my heart is heavy tonight
Somebody...
A mother, clear out of her mind
God, we ask you, take care of this boy
Stay alive
Son, the light is turning amber. Run!
We sing...Christ wore the crown of thorns
Cup your hand under his head and neck
Introduction (instrumental)
I don’t know what the hell you talkin’ about
Set aside your sides, eat some set-asides I set aside for my boys
– You my son. – I got deep fried, red-eyed, drip-dried...
Kneaded, pinched, and prodded
Heavenly Father, we humbly thank you
Hey Mom, hey Dad

Washington National Opera presents Blue, a contemporary opera on racial injustice in the US today, with a libretto by Tazewell Thompson set to music by Jeanine Tesori. Blue tells the tragic story of an African-American police officer whose son is killed by a fellow officer during a protest. Strongly resonating with the Black Lives Matter movement, the piece is equally groundbreaking thanks to its intimate and layered portrayal of African-American family life on the operatic stage. Historically and musically, Blue compassionately tells a story that is at once painful and identifiable to so many of us. The Music Critics Association of America named Blue the “Best New Opera” of 2020, while the Financial Times praised it as “an exceptionally strong new opera about race in America”, and hailed Tesori’s music as “eclectic, but assuredly so, full of beauty and eloquence.” The piece is sung by an excellent cast of vocalists, including Kenneth Kellogg as The Father, Briana Hunte as The Mother, and Aaron Crouch as The Son, while The Washington National Opera Orchestra is led by rising star conductor Roderick Cox.
Jeanine Tesori is one of the most important American composers of today, with a diverse catalog for musical theatre, opera, film, and television. Tazewell Thompson is an internationally acclaimed director, playwright, teacher, and actor. Washington National Opera is among the leading US opera houses, and has the mission to present stories that reflect the America of today.
This studio album was recorded in June 2021 at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Opera House.
