Following the great publicity and customer feedback we have received for the Live in HD production of FIRE SHUT UP IN MY BONES, we have added a national encore of the title during Black History Month. The exhibition date for this high-profile encore is Saturday, February 12, 2022 at 12:55pm in each time zone.

Run Time: 3 hours, 15 minutes (195 minutes).

Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts Grammy Award–winning jazz musician and composer Terence Blanchard’s adaptation of Charles M. Blow’s moving memoir. The first opera by a Black composer presented on the Met stage and featuring a libretto by filmmaker Kasi Lemmons, the opera tells a poignant and profound story about a young man’s journey to overcome a life of trauma and hardship. James Robinson and Camille A. Brown—two of the creators of the recent production of the Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess—co-direct this new staging, live in cinemas on October 23. Baritone Will Liverman, one of opera’s most exciting young artists, stars as Charles, alongside sopranos Angel Blue as Destiny/Loneliness/Greta and Latonia Moore as Billie.
