Composer Kevin Puts returns to the Met with his Pulitzer Prize–winning first opera, inspired by 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. The star-studded cast features soprano Elza van den Heever and tenors Ben Bliss and Rolando Villazón, among many others, conducted by debuting maestro Dalia Stasevska live from the Met to cinemas worldwide. This live cinema transmission is part of The Met: Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.
