Following the
ravishing success of
their opera
â27,â the team
of librettist Royce
Vavrek and composer Ricky
Ian Gordon received a
commission from the
Houston Grand Opera to
create a Christmas opera
for December 2017. The
charming and moving fruit
of their new
collaboration is an
operatic setting of the
Christmas story which
began as a short book by
Gail Rock, later expanded
for television. Using a
cast of 5 principals and
chorus, the 80-minute
work is framed as a
flashback to the
childhood of a girl whose
family tragedy deprived
her of growing up with
joy and Christmas spirit
until another
life-changing event
miraculously transformed
her life.
