The Metropolitan Opera’s 2023-24 season of Saturday matinee broadcasts continues with Terence Blanchard’s jazz-inflected drama Fire Shut Up in My Bones, in a performance from earlier this month. Bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green stars as Charles, who grows up in a small town amidst hardship and trauma and comes to face a reckoning with his painful past. Soprano Latonia Moore is his mother Billie, who struggles to give her son a stable life, and soprano Brittany Renee personifies the voices that speak to Charles in moments of comfort and crisis. Evan Rogister conducts this gripping and lyrical opera, based on the best-selling memoir by columnist Charles M. Blow. Fire Shut Up in My Bones will be heard over the Robert K. Johnson Foundation-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, April 27.
