Événement
LaRoche by Sharon J. Willis
Joseph Philippe Lemercier Laroche (26 May 1886 15 April 1912) was a Haitian engineer. He was one of only three passengers of known Haitian ancestry (the other two being his children) on the ill-fated voyage of the RMS Titanic.
He put his pregnant French wife and their two daughters onto a lifeboat; they survived, but he did not. Joseph's daughter, Louise Laroche (2 July 1910 28 January 1998) was one of the last remaining survivors of the sinking of RMS Titanic.
LaRoche, a three-act opera by Atlanta composer Sharon J. Willis, is based on his life and premiered at the 2003 National Black Arts Festival, held at the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center on July 18 of that year.
Wendel Stephens and Jacob Lay will sing the title role.
