Terence Blanchard In Dallas: Recorded at the Meyerson Symphony Center

Terence Blanchard in Dallas includes selections from Blanchard’s groundbreaking opera Fire Shut Up in My Bones as well as jazz performances from his album Absence with the E-Collective and the Turtle Island Quartet. Fire Shut Up in My Bones premiered at The Metropolitan Opera in September 2021 and marked the first time the New York institution staged an opera by a Black composer in its 138-year history. The Washington Post hailed the work as “A watershed moment for American opera…A starting point for something new, a refresh of where opera can take us.” The Chicago Sun Times called it “a major, compelling work by one of the most important, new composing voices in opera.”
