Storyline
Yannick NĂ©zet-SĂ©guin conducts Grammy Awardâwinning jazz musician and composer Terence Blanchardâs adaptation of Charles M. Blowâs moving memoir, which The New York Times praised after its 2019 world premiere at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis as âbold and affectingâ and âsubtly powerful.â The first opera by a Black composer presented on the Met stage and featuring a libretto by filmmaker Kasi Lemmons, the opera tells a poignant and profound story about a young manâs journey to overcome a life of trauma and hardship. James Robinson and Camille A. Brownâtwo of the creators of the Metâs sensational recent production of Porgy and Bessâco-direct this new staging, which appears in cinemas on October 23. Baritone Will Liverman, one of operaâs most exciting young artists, stars as Charles, alongside sopranos Angel Blue as Destiny/Loneliness/Greta and Latonia Moore as Billie.
