The opera was written by 5 time Grammy Award-winning composer Terence Blanchard, with a libretto by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Michael Cristofer.Co-commissioned by the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis and Jazz St. Louis, the opera premiered at the Loretto-Hilton Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of Webster University in Webster Groves, Missouri on 15 June 2013.〔
==History==
''Champion'' developed out of conversations between (Opera Theatre of Saint Louis ) and (Jazz St. Louis ), and the companies’ desire to collaborate on a groundbreaking commission that would combine the art forms of opera and jazz. In 2011, the (Whitaker Foundation ) of St. Louis provided the initial $200,000 leadership gift needed to fund the commissioning and development costs of the new work.
In 2012, Opera Theatre was awarded a one million dollar challenge grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation which would underwrite a substantial portion of the production costs of ''Champion'', as well as Ricky Ian Gordon's opera “''27''” in 2014 and a new production of Tobias Picker’s ''Emmeline'' in 2016. Additional support for Champion was provided by the Fred M. Saigh Endowment at Opera Theatre, the (National Endowment for the Arts ), (OPERA America’s ) ''Opera Fund'', Emily Rauh Pulitzer, Phoebe Dent Weil, and (The Aaron Copland Fund for Music. )
