About the event
Fort Worth Opera presents the World premiere of Stand Up! a 45 minute chamber opera on Friday, November 11 at 7:00pm. Composed by Joe Illick, and libretto by Sheran Goodspeed-Keyton, Stand Up! gives the audience a snapshot of the life of South African activist Stephen Biko during  Apartheid in the 1960s that segues to a Cultural Studies class in 2022, where a young black student struggles with his own will to speak out.
