On October 25 and 27, we begin our historical quest for peace, hope, and courage with Joan of Arc: The Trial at Rouen, an innovative and immersive experience at Centenary United Methodist Church. Pulitzer prize-winning composer Norman Dello Joio revered Joan for her faithfulness and courage, which she displayed in battle, but even more acutely in her trial and execution.

 

Dello Joio spoke of his interest in her story to the New York Times on the occasion of the NBC television broadcast of this opera in 1956: "The timelessness and universality of Joan as a symbol lay in the eternal problem of the individual's struggle to reconcile his personal beliefs with what he is expected to believe. Daily, for ages, she has challenged men to have her courage."​
