An award-winning operatic love letter to global frontline healthcare workers
“On Call: Covid-19” Winner of the 2020-21 National Opera Association Production Award. Created by librettist CHRISTINE STEYER, composer DAVID SHENTON and director CARL RATNER, the one-hour opera looks in on a series of “Zoom” calls by six medics struggling with the unfolding pandemic.
Calling in from Chicago, Seoul, Rio de Janeiro, Lombardy, New York City, and a Syrian refugee camp near Beirut, the colleagues provide each other a lifeline and ultimately discover that kindness and compassion can be as powerful a tool as a vaccine and ventilator.
