The Magic Flute: Chapter 1 | Every Voice with Terrance McKnight | Full Podcast Episode

Every Voice with Terrance McKnight, a podcast series spotlighting marginalized voices, histories and perspectives in the Western classical music traditions.

In the debut episode of Every Voice with Terrance McKnight, we meet Dr. Sharon Willis, Dr. Uzee Brown, and others who are lifting the mask behind opera’s representation of marginalized voices to create something more inclusive and more beautiful for all of us.

The Moorish character Monostatos in Mozart’s “The Magic Flute” is one of the most famous representations of Blackness in opera — a genre with limited representation of characters of African descent. But many are interrogating the Black caricatures that European classical music long ago crafted and continue to cultivate to this day.
