Omar Moving Moment with Jamez McCorkle

"In the title role, Jamez McCorkle, making his SFO debut, gives a commanding, visceral performance, singing with a smoothly baritonal tenor. His Omar has something of a protective shell about him, a refusal to submit even when he is thoroughly trapped by a cruel enslaver."

In this scene from Act I, Omar has survived the middle passage and is now facing the auction block in Charleston, SC. He cries out to Allah:
"The whirlwind has me, I didn't see it that morning, the whirlwind has me, I didn't heed the warning. I see the world, in shades of you. Not everyone feels like I do. This I know, now I know, when knowing is too late. This I hear, now I hear, the drumming of my fate! The whirlwind has me, I didn't heed the warning!"
