Terence Blanchard’s opera Fire Shut Up In My Bones made history in 2021 as the first work written by a Black composer to be staged at the Metropolitan Opera.
This “opera in jazz,” as Blanchard describes it, tells the true coming-of-age story of a young boy growing up in the face of great adversity and forging his personal identity.
Now, in this visually captivating concert performance, Terence Blanchard brings us a new suite of music from the piece.

Killer Queen will rock San Diego once again!  
  
Formed back in June 1993, their first public shows were at London University, following in the footsteps of the real Queen, who played their first shows there 21 years earlier. 
  
By 1995, Killer Queen's UK popularity had grown to such an extent they secured a residency in London's Strand Theatre attracting nationwide BBC coverage - the first tribute to have a show in the West End. Since then, the band's reputation has continued to grow, both in the UK and abroad. 
   
Killer Queen: A Tribute to Queen is proudly presented by San Diego Theatres at Balboa Theatre on Saturday, March 29, 2025. Tickets are available via San Diego Theatres and Ticketmaster. 

Ticket Price: $45 advanced / $48 day of show / $79 reserved loft seating (available over the phone or in person at out box office)
