“The music flies…the opera is fun…and people love it!”—Evening Standard, London
Fasten your seatbelts! A violent storm has grounded all flights, forcing some passengers and crew members to spend the night together in an airport lounge. Here, they get to know each other very, very well…including a Refugee, who’s been trapped in the airport for several weeks.
Based on the real-life story that also inspired Steven Spielberg’s movie, The Terminal, starring Tom Hanks.
With stars including:
John Holiday as Refugee. “He brings his distinctive countertenor to the Refugee and proves a charismatic galvanizing presence.” —Opera Today
“Abigail Rethwisch’s fearsome vocal power and range served the character of the Controller well, and she seemed to summon the storm with her voice.” —Utah Arts Review
Emmanuel Villaume conducts The Dallas Opera Orchestra in this production from Des Moines Metro Opera.
