The Knock

A patriotic opera of heartache and hope
The Knock delves into the resilience and bravery of military spouses facing the unknown. Set in the American suburbs during the Iraq War, this regional premiere captures the strength required to endure the wait for a dreaded knock at the door.

Aleksandra Vrebalov’s music and Deborah Brevoort’s libretto offer a poignant reflection on love, sacrifice, and the courage demanded by wartime life.
