.kanyewest opens up to Vogue about his new opera 'Mary,' grace, and his faith.
opens with an assemblage of performers in flowing robes and silver face paint walking across a floating platform to a barge anchored in the water. Singers unleash their voices in unison; hymns radiate from the stage. West sits, obscured by the speakers, reading a Biblical account of the Virgin Mary’s encounter with the archangel Gabriel. In the crowd, people lift their hands into the air—many contain smartphones, but some are empty, raised in praise. Church, it seems, is in session.
West, who once communicated his fears, anger, and passions in rap music, has done some reflecting on the genre. In rap, he says, you don’t hear a lot of scripture; these new pieces offer words and scenes directly from the Bible. He wants to use the grand medium of opera to make music that is a “beacon of light.” Or to be a channel for it: “God put it all together,” he says. “I’ll tell you what, when I don’t apply grace, I don’t get the results I’m looking for. Everything must be done with grace.
