Two Extraordinary Stories. One Unforgettable Evening.
Piedmont Opera celebrates its 50th Anniversary Season with a landmark operatic event—two North Carolina premieres that promise to move, inspire, and leave a lasting impression!
Experience the extraordinary music and storytelling of Grammy Award–winning composer Jake Heggie and Pulitzer Prize–winning librettist Gene Scheer as Piedmont Opera proudly presents Another Sunrise and Before It All Goes Dark.
Presented together in one unforgettable evening, these two powerful one-act operas bring remarkable true stories to life, celebrating courage, resilience, hope, and the unbreakable strength of the human spirit.
In Another Sunrise, discover the extraordinary courage of Holocaust survivor and resistance writer Krystyna Żywulska, who transformed poetry and song into powerful acts of defiance within Auschwitz-Birkenau. Her story is a moving testament to the enduring power of creativity, resistance, and hope.
Before It All Goes Dark takes audiences on a compelling journey with Vietnam veteran Gerald "Mac" McDonald, whose search for his family history reveals a long-lost legacy stolen during the Holocaust. Inspired by the reporting of Chicago Tribune journalist Howard Reich, this gripping opera explores identity, discovery, and the profound importance of remembering the past.
A milestone season deserves an extraordinary production!
