Description
Libretto: Written by Tom Cipullo, based on the book by Tom Philpott.
Synopsis: Opera in Two Acts. Based on a book of the same name with a foreword by Senator John McCain, this opera takes place during the Vietnam War and is based on the moving, true story of Colonel Jim Thompson, America's longest-serving Prisoner of War (1964–1973), the torment faced by his family, and a nation divided during the Vietnam era. After being held prisoner for nearly a decade, Thompson returns home to find a wife that has moved on, a son he has never met, a nation that has all but forgotten him, and a USA that he barely recognizes, as he strains to find direction in a country that he battled to protect.
