Historically significant: this production deserves that designation even in advance, since Grammy Award-winning jazz musician Terence Blanchard's work will be the first opera created by an African-American composer to ever be staged at the Met. This work to be conducted by the institution's music director, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, is based on a memoir by the noted New York Times journalist Charles M. Blow and will be staged by two directors: James Robinson and Camille A. Brown, whose collective talent was made evident in their Porgy and Bess, the high point of the 2019/20 season.
Originally, it was an autobiographical memoir full of sensitive, difficult and painful subjects, as the story of the well-known political columnist Blow's childhood and young adulthood included a fair amount of poverty and discrimination, as well as sexual abuse and the problems of identity suffered by Black men. This 2014 memoir later inspired the imaginations of the deservedly celebrated jazz trumpeter and composer Terence Blanchard and his librettist, a fellow African American, the film director Kasi Lemmons: their joint operatic effort received its world première in St Louis in 2019. Enthusiastically hailed then for its daringness just as much for its powerful and impactful style of expression, the work has now made it to the Met at lightning speed, making it the first opera by a Black composer to be presented there in the entire 140 years of its history. The starring role will go to the highly talented young baritone Will Liverman, a familiar face from the world broadcast of the Philip Glass opera Akhnaten, who will be joined by two marvels from the aforementioned - and Grammy Award-winning - production of Porgy and Bess: Angel Blue and Latonia Moore.

Presented by: Müpa Budapest
Program: Mozart: Symphony No. 25 in G minor, K. 183 György Orbán: Symphony No. 2 - world premiere Mahler: Symphony No. 4 in G major
Eliades Ochoa's performance at Müpa Budapest is sure to be one of the most exciting concerts of 2024. Although the Cuban singer/guitarist has been a famous musician in his native country since the 1970s, it was only at the turn of the millennium that the wider world first encountered his name, thanks to the Wim Wenders documentary on the Buena Vista Social Club.
The world-famous Danish baritone Bo Skovhus probably secured his place in the hearts of the Müpa Budapest audience forever when, in a 2013 production of Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, he was forced to take the stage while suffering from a painful knee problem, yet still managed to incorporate his resulting compromised ability to walk into his unforgettable portrayal.
Everyone is welcome to come in colourful clothes, the programme is a mere 50 minutes in length (without an interval),…
It is always a thrill to reflect on the fact that, even though the vast majority of Richard Wagner's oeuvre…
