Video: Go Inside Dance Rehearsals For FIRE SHUT UP IN MY BONES at The Met

Watch as the dancers of this season’s revival of Terence Blanchard’s hit opera rehearse the Act III step dance with co-director and choreographer Camille A. Brown.

Terence Blanchard’s stirring drama returns following its landmark company premiere in 2021, with bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green starring as Charles, a young man faced with a fateful decision.

Soprano Latonia Moore reprises her heartbreaking portrayal as Charles’s mother, Billie, with rising soprano Brittany Renee doing triple duty as Charles’s love interest, Greta, as well as the embodiments of Loneliness and Destiny.

James Robinson and Camille A. Brown’s gripping production includes what is surely the only step dance in opera. Evan Rogister conducts Blanchard’s score, which powerfully melds opera and jazz.
