Written at the end of the 19th century, Koanga can justly claim to be the very first African-American opera and is inspired by the composer's experiences in America's deep south. The opera tells the story of Koanga, an African prince sold into slavery and a world of wicked treachery. His intense love and eventual marriage to Palmyra cannot prevent a tragic conclusion.
