Come experience the Metropolitan Opera, live-streamed in HD in the beautiful Snowy Owl Theatre, less than a 10 minute drive from downtown Leavenworth! Pastries and mimosas available for purchase.
One of the 21st century’s most powerful new works, this opera draws inspiration from the true events of the 1914 Christmas truce, when
soldiers spontaneously set aside the horrors of the First World War and crossed the trenches to mingle, exchange gifts, and sing carols
with the enemy.
Composer Kevin Puts (The Hours) returns to the Met with his Pulitzer Prize–winning first opera, hailed as “an overwhelming emotive
experience” (The Guardian), in an evocative staging by director James Robinson (Champion, Porgy and Bess) that takes the audience
directly to the battlefields of the Western Front.
