DSU & Biggs Present - Echoes of Freedom

DSU & Biggs Present - Echoes of Freedom: An Operatic Reflection on 250 Years

Delaware State University and the Biggs Museum of American Art present an evening with OperaDelaware, that traces the American voice from spirituals through Puccini, Gershwin, and Sondheim, performed by soprano Toni Marie Palmertree, bass-baritone Justin Hopkins, and tenor Dane Suarez. The program moves from Sullivan Ballou’s Civil War letter to the wide-open promise of South Pacific’s “Some Enchanted Evening,” from Susannah’s Appalachian heartbreak to Candide’s closing call to “Make Our Garden Grow.”

The American story has always been told by its artists. Experience the music on July 23, 2026, at The Schwartz.
