Houston Grand Opera and Urban Bush Women:
Intelligence by Jake Heggie, Gene Scheer, and Jawole Willa Jo Zollar
Ahead of Intelligence’s world premiere in Houston on October 20, co-conceiver, director, and choreographer Jawole Willa Jo Zollar discusses the creative process behind the opera.
A Houston Grand Opera commission, Intelligence takes place during the Civil War in Richmond, Virginia, where Mary Jane Bowser, born into slavery, has been sent to infiltrate the Confederate White House by Elizabeth Van Lew, matriarch of a prominent Confederate family. Learn the little-known true story of these women, whose secret pro-Union spy ring helped win the war.
Seven dancers from Urban Bush Women perform highlights.
