Created by Peter Rothstein, with musical arrangements by Erick Lichte and Timothy C. Takach, "All Is Calm" is a retelling of firsthand accounts of this truce and uses Christmas carols, patriotic tunes, trench songs and spoken text from the letters and diaries of soldiers.
"When we produced 'All Is Calm' in 2018, the audience response was overwhelming, and we've received requests to produce it again since then," said David Bennett, San Diego Opera's general director.
"Although current safety protocols in response to COVID-19 make it impossible for us to produce it live now, I'm thrilled to be able to share a beautifully filmed performance from 2018 with our audiences."
