In 1993, Octavia E. Butler’s “Parable of the Sower,” a critically acclaimed novel centered around a teenage girl with the uncontrollable ability to feel the pain of others was published. Butler, who is considered a pioneering Black female science fiction writer, delved into themes of racial injustice, women’s rights and climate change. She passed away in 2006. But now, 30 years after the book was published, the opera, “Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower,” has its NYC premiere at Lincoln Center on July 13.
