Birmingham Speaks – Glory Denied: A Composer Conversation

Opera Birmingham presents a series of community conversations. The second event is inspired by “Glory Denied”, the story of America’s longest-held prisoner of war, who spent nine years in captivity during the Vietnam War. These conversations highlight the contributions and challenges of our country’s veterans. Hear insight from the composer of “Glory Denied,” Tom Cipullo, about the creation of his opera and an excerpt of the opera. A reception will follow.
