Kresge awards DiChiera
Michigan Opera Theatre general director has been named the 2013 Kresge Eminent Artist. The award, which comes with a $50,000 prize, is the Troy-based Kresge Foundation’s annual lifetime achievement award in the arts. It is the most prestigious and lucrative local prize in the field of culture.
DiChiera, 77, has long been recognized as one of Detroit’s contemporary visionaries. Early on, he saw how culture could be deployed not only for its intrinsic value but also as a way to rebuild the city. He founded MOT in 1971, building an opera company from scratch where there had been none, and later led the renovation of the $65-million Detroit Opera House.
DiChiera has also championed color-blind casting and produced nationalist operas that spoke specifically to various ethnic communities as a way of building bridges within Detroit’s multicultural landscape.
In recent years, DiChiera has reconnected with his past as a trained composer. His opera, «Cyrano,» a well-received setting of the Cyrano de Bergerac tale written in a lushly neoromantic musical idiom, premiered in Detroit in 2007 and had subsequent performances in Philadelphia and Miami.
Previous Kresge Eminent Artists have been poet , poet and playwright , jazz trumpeter and visual artist .
