The Atlanta Opera: Atlanta's Premier Operatic Voice
The Atlanta Opera is not a regional afterthought — it is a nationally recognized opera company that has built a loyal, passionate Atlanta audience over decades of bold programming. Based in Atlanta and performing primarily at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, the company consistently draws top-tier vocal talent to the city and stages productions that rival those of companies twice its size.
Silent Night is one of the crown jewels of The Atlanta Opera's repertoire choices. The opera is based on the true story of the 1914 Christmas Truce during World War I, when soldiers from opposing sides spontaneously laid down their weapons and met in No Man's Land on Christmas Eve. Composed by Kevin Puts, who won the Pulitzer Prize for Music for this work in 2012, Silent Night is a deeply human story told through soaring, emotionally devastating music. It features multiple languages — French, German, and Scottish English — woven together into a single, unified operatic experience that is both historically grounded and profoundly moving.
Atlanta audiences have come to trust The Atlanta Opera to bring productions that challenge, inspire, and move them — and Silent Night delivers on all three counts. The company's production values, orchestral depth, and commitment to casting exceptional voices make every Atlanta Opera performance an event. This is not background music. This is opera at its most powerful and purposeful.
