The Met’s premiere of Fire Shut Up in My Bones remains without a specific run date, but it is expected to make its debut in an upcoming season. In a phone interview with The Times, Gelb described Blanchard as “a brilliant composer.”
The Times also notes Blanchard’s production was feverishly pursued by Met general manager, Peter Gelb, following the show’s June premiere at Opera Theater of St. Though it had plenty to choose from over the last century or so, the production will be the first-ever opera by a black composer to be hosted by The Met in the institution’s 136-year historyĪccording to The New York Times, the opera was directed by James Robinson (who’s at the helm of The Met’s current run of The Gershwins’ Porgy & Bess) with a libretto written by Kasi Lemmons. Terence Blanchard‘s heralded opera, Fire Shut Up in My Bones, is set to make its debut at The Metropolitan Opera House in NYC.
