Broadcasts from the world's great stages
Following the success of Fire Shut Up in My Bones, six-time Grammy Award-winning composer Terence Blanchard's first opera comes to the Met. Champion: An Opera in Jazz is a groundbreaking work combining opera and jazz. It tells the true story of world boxing champion Emile Griffith, who spent his life questioning himself and a society that accepted his accidental killing of a fellow athlete, but not his bisexuality.
Sung in English (with German subtitles).
