Blanchard: Fire Shut Up in My Bones (Recorded Live at the Met - October 23, 2021)

Basada en las memorias del periodista Charles M. Blow, Fire Shut Up In My Bones (2019) de Terence Blanchard fue la primera ópera de un compositor negro presentada en el Met. Cuenta la historia de un joven (Charles) que fue abusado por un primo durante su infancia, mientras se enfrenta al trauma emocional de lo sucedido. Con influencias de la ópera italiana y del jazz, además de un toque de R&B y góspel, el lenguaje musical es tan fuerte como la narrativa. Bajo la espectacular dirección de Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Will Liverman interpreta a Charles de manera conmovedora, apoyado por un sólido reparto que incluye a las sopranos Angel Blue y Latonia Moore, así como al bajo barítono Ryan Speedo Green.
