Cantus will weave their impeccable vocal harmonies in a moving musical drama “All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914”. The joy of “Peace on Earth” rarely has seemed so real as it does in this compelling story of a Christmas Eve, when Allied Forces and German soldiers lay down their weapons in no man’s land to greet soldiers on the other side. For a few minutes on that silent night, sworn enemies traded little presents and tokens, but mostly gave the gift of their own voices- singing songs from their native lands. “All is Calm” was created by playwright / Director Peter Rothstein, based almost entirely on letters and journal entries written by soldiers who served in World War I. Through 26 beautiful new arrangements of European carols, war-songs, and narration, Cantus performs a profoundly moving work of musical theatre.
