The Christmas Truce of 1914 in Coral Gables
This event has passed.
Music and history intertwine in a program commemorating the Christmas Truce of 1914, when opposing soldiers paused World War I combat to share in the holiday spirit. Inspired by Silent Night, the Pulitzer Prize-winning opera by Kevin Puts, the event features performances by Florida Grand Opera Studio Artists alongside commentary from historians Dr. Jessica Adler and Dr. Rebecca Friedman.
This second performance of The Christmas Truce of 1914 takes place Sunday, October 26 at the Coral Gables Congregational Church. Presented in partnership with Florida Grand Opera, the program offers an early glimpse of Silent Night, which runs November 15 through December 6 as part of the opera’s season.
