Tom Cipullo: Glory Denied
Fort Worth Opera, Michael Mayes, Caroline Worra, David Blalock, Sydney Mancasola, Tyson Deaton (conductor)
Glory Denied, the new opera by Tom Cipullo, is the saga of Col. Jim Thompson, the longest-held American POW in U.S. history. Cipullos dramatic chamber opera based on the 2001 oral history by Tom Philpott, was recorded live with cast and ensemble of the 2013 Fort Worth Opera Festival. Glory Denied is a distinctly American story encapsulating something of the moral essence of the Vietnam War and the bitterness of the wars legacy. Tom Cipullos score is beautiful and chilling and returns us to a transformative era in our nations history.
