Family is everything.
Diane Tran, an 11th grade honor student in Houston, was jailed for truancy. She works two jobs while balancing school and family. Interviewed on air, Diane revealed that her parents were divorced and said, “I thought my family was happy.”



The poignant and heart wrenching one act, Bound, by composer Huang Ruo and librettist Bao-Long Chu, tells the true story of Diane Tran, an 11th grade honors student in Houston, Texas who was arrested and jailed for repeated truancy after trying to balance her obligations between two jobs, family, and school. Starring internationally renowned soprano Karen Vuong (who sang the title role in Anchorage Opera’s 2025 production of Madama Butterfly), this gripping drama is profoundly relevant and resonant.
