LEXINGTON, KY (September 18, 2024) –– UK Opera Theatre will present Sanctuary Road, by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and librettist Paul Moravec and Mark Campbell, at the Lexington Opera House from March 7 – 9, 2025.
This stunningly beautiful and emotional opera inspired by the writings of William Still—the Father of the Underground Railroad—recounts the journeys of enslaved people seeking freedom as they share their stories with Still, who documented their experiences and facilitated their safe passage.
Among the compelling vignettes is the story of Peter Still, William Still’s brother, who was sold into slavery in Lexington, Kentucky—a narrative that resonates with local ties to this day. Tickets are available now at ticketmaster.com, lexingtonoperahouse.com, or in person at the Central Bank Center Box Office from 12-4 P.M. on Wednesdays and Fridays.
