In honor of Veterans Day, The American Opera Project is proud to release the film of the 2022 world premiere of Letters That You Will Not Get: Women’s Voices from the Great War at Brooklyn’s Irondale Center this past August. Letters will be available to stream on YouTube for one week only. Free with registration. Suggested donation of $10.

Letters That You Will Not Get: Women's Voices from the Great War, by composer Kirsten Volness and co-librettists Susan Werbe and Kate Holland, gives voice to American, British, European, Asian, African and Caribbean women affected by WWI through a series of vignettes that share their responses to the war—from enthusiasm to resignation; support to opposition; the war’s beginning to its end. Combining powerful contemporary music with excerpts from women’s writings on both sides of the conflict, Letters tells the story of the Great War as experienced by the women who lived through it.

Woman 2 by Volness, From (2022/2022), Directed by Kate Bergstrom,, Conductor Mila Henry
