Marble City Opera presents the world premiere of I Can't Breathe. With music by Leslie Savoy Burrs and libretto by Knoxville-based writer, Brandon J. Gibson, this opera was inspired by and written in the wake of repeated instances of fatal police brutality. Performances are February 24-26 at the Beck Cultural Exchange Center on Dandridge Ave. in Knoxville. In-person tickets are currently sold out, but livestream tickets still remain.
