Predictable mainstays of standard repertoire will return, but a few notable performances will make their <a href="http://www.metguild.org/operanews/issue/article.aspx?id=811&issueID=27">debut</a> this season. One of the new performances that has been already generating excitement is <a href="http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2003/02/20/loc_opera20.html"><i>Margaret Garner</i></a>, to be <a href="http://www.motopera.org/current_season/cs_opera.htm">hosted</a> by Detroit’s <a href="http://www.freep.com/entertainment/newsandreviews/mot20_20030220.htm">Michigan Opera Theater</a> in May. With the libretto composed by Nobel Laureate <a href="http://www.nobel.se/literature/laureates/1993/morrison-bio.html">Toni</a> <a href="http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/tmorris.htm">Morrison</a>, the <a href="http://www.cincinnatiopera.com/content.jsp?articleId=68">opera</a> is a musical extrapolation of her 1987 novel <a href="http://www.luminarium.org/contemporary/tonimorrison/beloved.htm">Beloved</a>. <i>Margaret Garner</i> is the <a href="http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/black_voices/voices_display.cfm?id=76">autobiographical</a> account of a <a href="http://aalbc.com/authors/margaret.htm">Kentucky</a> <a href="http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/ohc/h/05/peo/garnerm.shtml">slave</a> who journeys to Ohio with her family to live in freedom. However, the Garner family is intercepted during their pilgrimage by slave traders who threaten capture, and rather than have her daughter live in bondage, Margaret murders her. Top mezzo-soprano <a href="http://www.denycegraves.com/">Denyce Graves</a> stars as the lead, and it will be directed by Kenny Leon, last seen conducting P.
