Composer debuts original queer opera at the Kennedy Center
Reading now: 120
Music has always been a part of Joy Redmond’s life. She began playing piano at 7 years old, and it took off from there. Now, Redmond, a composer and pianist, is making her Kennedy Center debut this month.
Redmond is part of the American Opera Initiative at the Kennedy Center, a program that commissions original one-act opera works.
Her piece, which she co-created with librettist Sam Norman, will premiere on Jan. 19. “Hairpiece” follows the story of a wigmaker, Esther.
Redmond and Norman brainstormed the storyline together, and Norman wrote the story while Redmond composed. The other main characters, a man and a non-binary person, all come together, and clash, but also find common ground and get to know themselves on a deeper level.

Mourning a Transgender Activist at a Cathedral That Once Drew Protests
The pews of St. Patrick’s Cathedral were packed on Thursday for an event with no likely precedent in Catholic history: the funeral of Cecilia Gentili, a transgender activist and actress, former sex worker and self-professed atheist whose memorial functioned as both a celebration of her life and an exuberant piece of political theater. Over 1,000 mourners, several hundred of whom were transgender, arrived in daring outfits — glittery miniskirts and halter tops, fishnet stockings, sumptuous fur stoles and at least one boa sewed from $100 bills.
