It was tough separating the opera from the event when FIRE SHUT UP IN MY BONES opened the first post-Covid pandemic season at the Met. Back then, in September 2021, FIRE made history as the first opera by a Black composer, Terence Blanchard with his librettist Kasi Lemmons (based on the book by Charles M. Blow), to make its way to the Met stage. This week, it returned to show that contemporary opera can have “legs” on the big stage of the company.

Get a first look at Terence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones' return to the Met stage. The production's remount begins performances on April 8 for seven performances. Its 2021 premiere made history as the first opera by a Black composer to be presented at the Met and won the 2023 Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording.

Following its landmark company premiere during the 2021–22 season, Terence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones will return to the Met stage.
