OperaCreole Ensemble: Edmond Dede: Morgiane, ou, Le sultan d'Ispahan (Live) - COMPACT DISCS

Title: Edmond Dede: Morgiane, ou, Le sultan d'Ispahan (Live)
Artist: OperaCreole Ensemble
Label: Delos Records
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
UPC: 013491362823
Genre: Classical Artists
Release Date: 2026-02-20
Number of Discs: 2

Delos partners with Opera Lafayette and OperaCréole to present this world premiere recording of the earliest complete opera by a Black American. This recording is not a revival - it is a revelation. More than a century after it's completion, Edmond Dédé's Morgiane is finally being heard, thanks to the tireless work of Givonna Joseph, founder of OperaCréole, conductor Patrick Dupre Quigley, and many others. Born in New Orleans, Dédé fled an apartheid-like existence for free people of color in the southern United States to build his career in France, a move that turned to exert a great influence on his composing style. In that respect, Morgiane is not only beautiful, but it also bridges worlds: American and French, Black and white, powerful and marginalized. It is the work of a composer who labored with conviction and brilliance, even as he feared no one might ever hear his music.
