Synopsis

Back by popular demand, the Metropolitan Opera’s groundbreaking production of Terence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones returns to cinemas on February 12 in celebration of Black History Month.

    This is a powerful opera. Well worth watching. The staging is very effective and the music by Terence Blanchard is superb. Not to be missed.

    I loved this opera and the cast. BUT, the transmission was lost minutes before the end and it was VERY disappointing!

    Deals with modern, human issues but is clearly an opera. The music is excellent; moving; I wept at the end. The development of the theme of expressing love between the mother and son was accomplished through three efforts; only at the last were both in a place to express…

    I love live theater and opera, but without this HD encore presentation, I would not have been able to see this groundbreaking production. The cast was superb, the music was lush. I look forward to seeing more live theater this way.

    A moving opera. The behind the scenes and audience views made it even more special. Grateful for the opportunity so far away from NYC.

    Such a powerful, timely creation. Bravo to ALL! To see it in-person in its Premiere in St. Louis with Opera Theater St. Louis a few years ago and then this embellished statement , certainly each performance had its uniqueness. Wish that there would have been more diversity…
