About the Show
Duke Ellington’s only opera roars with big band sound in this raucous affair fusing hot jazz with cool blues! This hidden gem in the Duke’s repertoire is a seldom-performed rarity, so catch it while you can! The story follows a Harlem belle in her quest for everlasting fame, showcasing a woman’s ambition to keep her title and her beau. Prestige, beauty, and racial divides are not the only make-over in Queenie Pie, a Chicago premiere and collaboration with the Chicago Jazz Orchestra.
