Virginia Opera and the Richmond Symphony will present the world premiere of “Loving v. Virginia,” a new opera that tells the story of Mildred and Richard Loving, whose legal battle led to the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down laws banning interracial marriage. The production will be the final presentation of Virginia Opera’s 50th Anniversary Season.
The opera will debut in Norfolk on April 25 and 27, with additional performances in Fairfax on May 3 and 4, and in Richmond from May 9 to 11.
