Christmas Eve 1914, a lone soldier stepped out of the trenches singing Stille Nacht. This a cappella opera, sung in English, shares the stories of soldiers along the Western Front in the spontaneous Christmas Truce of World War I.

Written by Peter Rothstein with vocal arrangements by Erick Lichte and Timothy C. Takach, nine soldiers come together in harmony to tell this powerful story: the story of a German soldier stepping into No Man’s Land to sing “Stille Nacht (Silent Night).” This moment began an extraordinary and unprecedented night of music, acceptance, and peace.
