Glory Denied, music by Tom Cipullo, from the book by Tom Philpott, will be presented in tandem with the Medal of Honor Celebration that will be held in Knoxville in September. The opera’s libretto follows the true story of Colonel Jim Thompson, America’s longest-held prisoner of war. The story deals not only with Thompson’s suffering in the jungle of southeast Asia, but also the tragic aftermath that followed his liberation.

Following the performance there will be a talk back with Knoxville’s very own William A. Robinson, America’s longest-held enlisted POW. Knoxville Opera is offering free tickets to active duty and veteran members of the U.S. armed forces and their families for any performance of Glory Denied.

“It is an honor to present this opera in partnership with the Medal of Honor Celebration. Glory Denied is an intensely powerful story not only about Jim Thompson’s captivity but about an American family during one of our nation’s most turbulent eras. This piece is one of the most frequently performed operas of the 21st century, and we are excited to bring it to East Tennessee.” says Jason Hardy, General Director and CEO of Knoxville Opera.
