Cincinnati Opera

WRTI Spotlight

Watch composer Kevin Day unpack his Afrofuturist opera, 'Lalovavi'

Nate Chinen

Kevin Day has composed well-received works for orchestra and jazz combo, but nothing has stretched his horizons quite like Lalovavi: An Afrofuturist Opera in Three Acts — his debut opera, which will premiere at the Cincinnati Opera in the summer of 2026. During a recent visit to WRTI, Day talked about this epic work, and played some of its themes at the piano.
