'a triumph of contemporary stagecraft'—Opera News
Acclaimed tenor William Burden stars as the drafted opera singer whose voice inspires World War I troops to negotiate a Christmas Eve truce. Enemies become brothers as Scottish, French and German officers come together to bury their dead in a moving, dramatic work that features soprano Kelly Kaduce as Anna Sørenson and baritone Troy Cook as Father Palmer in a production staged by Academy Award-winning director Eric Simonson.
Silent Night is funded, in part, by generous support from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Music Project and by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Silent Night is a new co-production with The Minnesota Opera and is based on the screenplay by Christian Carion for the motion picture Joyeux Noël, produced by Nord-Ouest Production; photo by Michal Daniel.
