The Met Opera: SILENT NIGHT
A filmed opera about the 1914 Christmas Truce
Date
Monday 12. April
Time
18:00 - 21:00
In one of the most powerful new works of the 21st century, this opera takes inspiration from the true events of the Christmas truce in 1914, when soldiers in the First World War laid down their weapons, mingled, exchanged gifts and sang Christmas carols with the enemy.
Composer Kevin Puts returns to the Met with his Pulitzer Prize-winning work, praised as “an overwhelming emotional experience”. In a richly atmospheric production directed by James Robinson, audiences are transported to the front line.
