In 1914, along the Western Front of W.W. I, there was a series of spontaneous Christmas ceasefires—a quiet of sudden, profound sanity. One of these truces is the subject of Silent Night, the first opera composed by Kevin Puts. It brought Puts the Pulitzer Prize in 2012. This award-winning production is directed by Tomer Zvulun. —L.J.
