Singer

Tracing the inner journey of a comatose soldier after she suffers a roadside attack, The Falling and the Rising is an operatic story of service and sacrifice. As the soldier moves through her unconscious dreamscape, the audience will serve as both companion and witness, sharing powerful encounters with fellow service members along the way.

Originally created from interviews with active-duty soldiers and veterans, the opera serves as an ode to American service members, shining a light on their often untold stories.

The Falling and the Rising

Esther Simplot Performing Arts Academy

Considered one of the greatest operas ever written, it is a cornerstone of the repertoire and appears consistently among the top ten in the Operabase list of most frequently performed operas. In 2017, BBC News Magazine asked 172 opera singers to vote for the best operas ever written. The Marriage of Figaro came in first out of the 20 operas featured, with the magazine describing the work as being “one of the supreme masterpieces of operatic comedy, whose rich sense of humanity shines out of Mozart’s miraculous score.”
