Craig Irvin: Lieutenant Horstmayer

The critically-acclaimed new opera Silent Night recounts a miraculous moment of peace during one of the bloodiest wars in human history.  Composer Kevin Puts was awarded the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Music for this moving tour-de-force, featuring a poignant libretto by Mark Campbell.

On World War I’s western front, weapons are laid down when Scottish, French and German officers defy their superiors and negotiate a Christmas Eve truce. Enemies become brothers as they come together to share Christmas and bury their dead in a moving dramatic work that features soaring, lyrical melodies and a stellar cast of stars.
