The Metropolitan Opera will revive Terence Blanchard’s “Fire Shut Up in My Bones” on April 8.

The production, which is set to be performed seven times through May 2, will star Bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green in his role debut as Charles, soprano Latonia Moore reprising the role of Charles’s mother, Billie and soprano Brittany Renee as Destiny and Loneliness, as well as Charles’s college sweetheart Greta. It will also include Ethan Joseph. Evan Rogister conducts.

When the opera opened at the Met during the 2021-22 season, OperaWire said, “Terence Blanchard & Kasi Lemmons’ Masterpiece Makes History in So Many Ways.”

The “Fire Shut Up in My Bones” April 8 performance will be broadcast live on Metropolitan Opera Radio on the SiriusXM app and on April 27, a recording of the April 8 performance will be rebroadcast over The Robert K. Johnson Foundation–Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network.
