The Metropolitan Opera of New York opened its doors in 1883 and in its 300-year history it has staged about 300 titles: none so far but by an African-American composer.It is an injustice that is about to be repaired: after more than a year of closure due to Covid, a period of time that saw the Black Lives Matter movement for racial justice in the square, the famous temple of opera will reopen at public on Monday with "Fire Shut Up in My Bones" by Terence Blanchard, an African-American trumpeter and composer famous for the soundtracks of Spike Lee's films."It's a phenomenal honor, but a bittersweet moment", Blanchard told the "New York Times": "I just went to St. Taxis may also drop off outside both entrances to the Winter Gardens subject to traffic restrictions.An informal arrangement is currently in place permitting coach access to Church Street (accessed from Leopold Grove) after 6pm to drop off and collect outside the Winter Gardens.On a majority of evenings the coaches must do a loop in the area fronting the Winter Gardens (it is possible), and exit in the same direction only. If the production attracts multiple coach parties, arrangements can be made to leave the Abingdon Street gates open such that coaches enter via Church Street and exit at Abingdon Street, without congesting the Winter Gardens Frontage. Coaches are not permitted to wait in the area during the performance.For all enquiries please contact or telephone 01253 625252Blackpool North Station is approximately 10 minutes walk from the Winter Gardens.
