Just in: Seattle picks Fire in my Bones chief

Seattle Opera has named James Robinson, artistic director of Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, as its next general and artistic director.

Robinson, 61, is best known for directing Terence Blanchard’s opera Fire Shut Up in My Bones at the Metropolitan Opera, the company’s biggest contemporary box-office hit this century.

Previously, he won a Grammy for directing Porgy and Bess at the Met.

Taking over in Seattle next month, he succeeds Christina Scheppelmann, who is going to La Monnaie in Brussels.
