Soldier Songs Livestream Rebroadcast

Monday, August 30, 2021 to Tuesday, August 31, 2021
Midnight EDT

Location: Pittsburgh Opera's YouTube Channel

For a limited time, Pittsburgh Opera will be rebroadcasting all four operas from its 2020-21 season on Pittsburgh Opera’s YouTube channel.

Join us for David T. Little's Soldier Songs, whose libretto was adapted from recorded interviews with veterans of five wars. Soldier Songs traces the shift in perception of war from the age of 6 to the age of 66. Soldier Songs asks tough questions and tells tough stories through its poignant libretto, driving and devastating music, and surprising visual counterpoint. 

Relive this gripping performance, which Seen & Heard International called "powerful and provocative."

Plus, enjoy a special video introduction by Pittsburgh Opera Resident Artist Yazid Gray. Yazid talks about his inspiration for his performance and what it was like being the sole cast member.

Soldier Songs will be available for viewing for just 48 hours, on Monday, August 30th and Tuesday, August 31st.
