NY Met Opera

We love that we can bring to you multi-million dollar opera productions from the New York Met Opera - LIVE.

We have been presenting these for over 15 years and we know you love them, and others will too. We want to let others know about them, encourage them to come and share in the glory that is presented on screen, to be enriched, excited and reinvigorated by these incredible works. You can't travel to London, New York, Amsterdam and beyond on a weekly basis, however we can enjoy them regularly together on screen right here on the Central Coast.

Avoca Beach Theatre - Champion

Champion

Presented by Avoca Beach Theatre

Six time Grammy Award–winning composer Terence Blanchard brings his first opera to the Met after his Fire Shut Up in My Bones made history in the 2021–22 season.

Bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green is the young boxer Emile Griffith, who rises from obscurity to become a world champion, and bass-baritone Eric Owens portrays Griffith's older self, haunted by the ghosts of his past.

Soprano Latonia Moore is Emelda Griffith, the boxer's estranged mother, and mezzosoprano Stephanie Blythe is the bar owner Kathy Hagan.

Yannick Nézet-Séguin returns to the podium to conduct Blanchard's second Met premiere.

Director James Robinson, whose productions of Fire Shut Up in My Bones and Porgy and Bess brought down the house, oversees the staging.
Camille A. Brown, whose choreography electrified audiences in Fire and Porgy, also returns.
