“Figaro Up, Figaro Down,” a documentary about baritone Tim Blevins, is set to have its New York premiere at DOC NYC on Nov. 17 and 19, 2026.

Directed by Javid Soriano, the film follows Blevins, a Juilliard-trained baritone who is experiencing homelessness in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood. The film was shot over 10 years, and shows Blevins singing in the city’s streets, his struggle with addiction and his efforts to reconnect with the children he left behind.

The film won the Audience Award for Best Feature Documentary at the San Francisco International Film Festival. Blevins built his opera career in New York, where he also started a family, and he is set to attend the screenings in person.

Screenings will take place at Village East by Angelika.
