Solange Announces Opera and Tuba Album

On the latest Chanel × Wax Poetics episode, Solange details her ambitions to explore opera and the tuba’s sonic possibilities.

Solange Knowles has consistently transcended the boundaries between music, art, and performance, but her latest revelation pushes her into uncharted territory. In the second installment of Chanel and Wax Poetics’ editorial podcast series, she discloses that her next “leap of faith” will take the form of composing an opera and producing an album centered on the tuba. These unexpected projects underscore her commitment to challenge both her own boundaries and audience expectations.

MUSIC

Since her debut solo album, Solo Star (2003), Solange has charted a singular course. Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams (2008) paid homage to 1970s soul, while A Seat at the Table (2016) earned a Grammy for its raw exploration of black identity and empowerment. When I Get Home (2019) combined her own experiences with unconventional production, affirming her reputation as an artist unafraid of reinvention. Offstage, she has balanced motherhood, activism, and visual art, founding Saint Heron, a multimedia platform dedicated to elevating underrepresented voices.

The podcast episode brings Solange together with Angèle, Neneh Cherry, and Yukimi Nagano to explore the role of chance in creativity. Yet it is Solange’s announcement that captures everyone’s attention: “I want to write an opera, and I want to write an album for the tuba,” she declares. By choosing forms often associated with classical and orchestral traditions, she signals a deliberate move away from the rhythms and sounds that defined her previous work.

Operatic Leap of Faith

Writing an opera calls for compositional skill alongside narrative and dramatic acumen. For Solange, whose catalogue has explored identity and community, it signals a bold broadening of her creative scope. The operatic medium invites her to combine libretto, score, and staging into a unified vision, a multidisciplinary undertaking she approaches with characteristic ambition. Her plan to center the tuba, an instrument more commonly heard in brass or orchestral settings, similarly challenges conventions, offering a chance to reveal its full expressive range and reshaping expectations of its sonic possibilities.

Solange herself acknowledges the risk inherent in these undertakings: “Those are going to take incredible leaps of faith. Mainly because I know that that’s not necessarily what people are waiting for.” Her candid admission reflects an artist willing to prioritize exploration over commercial certainty.
