Silent Night
Staged by Eric Simonson, The Minnesota Opera’s production of Kevin Puts’ Silent Night, a company commission which earned its composer the 2012 Pulitzer Prize in Music, recounts a miraculous moment of peace during one of the bloodiest wars in human history.
Silent Night was honored with a regional Emmy nomination.
“… Silent Night was nothing short of breathtaking.”
-Cincinnati Enquirer
“…a total, and in so many ways, new encounter with the magic of opera.”
-Oakwood Register
“Puts’ Silent Night Finds Light in the Darkness”
-Music in Cincinnati
"One could only marvel at Puts' multi-layered orchestral score, which turned on a dime from battle scenes – a cacophony of dissonances, edgy intervals and machine gun sounds – to moments of serene, lyrical beauty."
