A
student at the Denzel Washington School for the Performing Arts is living out
his dream of performing at the Metropolitan Opera House.
Judah
Taylor, a high school junior, landed a supporting role in the opera “Fire
Shut Up In My Bones.”
The
much-heralded production is based on a memoir by New York Times
opinion columnist Charles Blow, with music composed by Terence Blanchard. It
is the first opera presented by a black composer in the opera house's
138-year history.
Taylor says
performing at the venue “feels like a dream come true.”
