💨 Abstract

The Detroit Opera staged "The Central Park Five," an opera about five wrongfully convicted teens and Donald Trump's role in the case, despite concerns over Trump's potential reaction if re-elected. The opera, which debuted in 2019 and won a Pulitzer Prize, features Trump's own words. The production went ahead with enhanced security and minimal backlash. Trump has since made significant changes to U.S. arts institutions, raising concerns about the future of diverse and controversial art.
