We attended the Metropolitan Opera on our last evening. Happily, there was an event for young, aspiring dancers next door at the New York Ballet. We had tickets for a recent opera by jazz musician Terence Blanchard, based on the hard and moving memoir of columnist Charles Blow. The memoir and opera are titled Fire Shut Up In My Bones. Lacking sophistication in opera and often bored by modern works, my expectations were not high. But, it was great!
