No One is Forgotten: An Immersive Opera Drama

Featured Recurring

No One is Forgotten tells the story of Lali and Beng, who are being held captive. No one knows where they have been taken or if they are alive. All they have is each other. Co-composed by Paola Prestini and Sxip Shirey with a libretto adapted by Winter Miller from her original play, inspired by the plight of captured and detained journalists and aid workers, No One Is Forgotten is an operatic theatrical experience that promotes the message of strength, hope and love. Audiences will hear a story that is surprisingly funny, moving, and relevant. Designed in immersive sound design, the audience is enveloped within the action.

No One is Forgotten Panel Discussion: “What Art Reveals Beyond Factual Reporting”

Following the performance of No One is Forgotten, this public conversation will interrogate the relationship between artists and journalists, how their word impacts or fortifies each other, and how both professions often live within one person. In collaboration with the Program in Journalism and generously supported by a Humanities Council Magic Grant for Innovation.
