A powerful story of service, sacrifice, and the courage to come home.

Created from firsthand interviews with active-duty service members, veterans, and military families, The Falling and the Rising follows an injured soldier through a dreamlike journey toward healing, awakening, and homecoming. This moving 80-minute opera brings professional artists together with local voices to illuminate the resilience of those who serve—and the families who serve beside them.
