Minutes to Midnight: A Nuclear Opera
Minutes to Midnight: A Nuclear Opera is an opera with libretto by Sophia Chapadjiev and music by John Sturt. Minutes to Midnight’s Tête à Tête Avant-Première was performed on the 16th of September 2020, hopefully a fully staged permiere will be a possibility for the future.
“November 2016. Deep in the bowels of a bunker in North Dakota, 20-some-year-olds Lieutenants Martinez and Walker have one job: launch nuclear missiles should the call from the Commander-in-Chief ever come. Above ground, a new president is about to be elected.”
