An experience you’ll never forget, based on events never to be forgotten. The Alaska premiere of this modern masterpiece, is set in the wake of Pearl Harbor, and the executive order authorizing the internment of Japanese Americans. This eloquent, gripping piece of musical theater relates poignantly to present day events, with local connections to our Japanese, Jewish and Alaska Native communities.

Inspired by true stories from American history, the opera explores intersecting narratives of two women during World War II: a Japanese American, and her family, facing internment, and a German Jewish immigrant preoccupied by those she left behind. Both families have secrets that bind them to each other, eventually revealed through treasured possessions abandoned and found.

Cards placed on each theater seat tell the story of one incarcerated soul in Alaska and “Prelude to the Opera” Alaskan community speakers, who were themselves ‘relocated’ to WWII internment camps, help set the stage for the opera before the curtain rises, personalizing it, shining a spotlight on our Japanese and Alaska Native communities, and ‘bringing it home’ for all Alaskans.
