Glory Denied – February 10, 12, 16 & 18, 2017
‘Compelling contemporary’: Glory Denied by Tom Cipullo – The Alaska premiere of the contemporary opera Glory Denied by Tom Cipullo. Based on a book of the same name, with a foreword written by Senator John McCain, this opera relates the poignant story of Colonel Jim Thompson, America’s longest-held POW (1964-1973), the wrenching agonies faced by his family, and the larger story of a nation divided during the Vietnam era. After being a prisoner for almost a decade, Thompson returns home to find a son he has never met, a wife that has moved on, a nation that has changed beyond recognition, and he struggles to find his bearings in a society he fought to defend. You’ll be moved to tears and gain a greater appreciation of the sacrifices made by those who serve in our armed forces. We proudly welcome Maestro Douglas Kinney Frost back to conduct this powerful production.
