Music by Tom Cipullo

Book by Tom Philpot

Glory Denied tells the heroic story of  Jim Thompson, the longest held prisoner of war in US history. Cipullo’s haunting score evokes his sacrifice and salutes all who have served. Active duty Sergeant Ben Edquist stars

Following the 85-minute production, FLO will host a panel discussion featuring the composer Tom Cipullo, FLO Artistic Director Stephanie Havey, Veteran’s Outreach Center staff, and more.

NOTES: 

Glory Denied is based on real events. We are thankful to staff from the Veterans Outreach Center (VOC) who are working with Finger Lakes Opera (FLO) to create authentic storytelling. VOC staff will be present at the performance to provide support for those on whom this narrative may weigh heavily. FLO thanks them for their ongoing, vital work with Veterans and their families. 

This performance will be presented in English with projected English supertitles. The pre-show announcements, as well as the panel discussion after the performance, will be ASL interpreted, from front of stage, house left.
