This is a correction of multiple blogs reporting Davone Tines and Julia
Bullock to sing leading roles in the forthcoming Metropolitan Opera
"Fire Shut Up In My Bones". Although both sang in the Opera Theatre St.
Louis premiere production under director James Robinson who is
currently directing the new production of Porgy & Bess at the Met
with an all African American chorus, neither Julia Bullock or Davone
Tines have been cast to-date for the historic Metropolitan Opera
production. "Fire Shut Up In My Bones" will be the first production with
music and/or libretto by person or persons of African descent staged at
the Metropolitan Opera. "Fire Shut Up In My Bones" music was composed
by Terence Blanchard and the librettist is Kasi Lemmons.
