We love our service members and encourage everyone to help by supporting our local Veteran First Responder Heroes through Canines For Heroes. Watch:
At the Asolo, The story of that serene Christmas Eve unfolds amidst the backdrop of one of history’s most brutal conflicts. In 1914, soldiers from opposing sides found themselves entrenched along the Western Front. The cold winter had settled in, bringing with it both physical discomfort and emotional hardship. Yet amid this adversity came an unexpected reprieve—a chance for soldiers to lay aside their arms if only for a single night. The impromptu ceasefire began when a German soldier sang “Stille Nacht,” better known as “Silent Night,” reaching across enemy lines with its haunting melody. Slowly but surely, voices joined in harmony—first timidly then boldly—from both sides.
This unusual occurrence is captured beautifully in “All Is Calm,” which brings together firsthand accounts from diaries and letters penned by those who witnessed this miracle firsthand. Through powerful narratives interwoven with traditional carols sung acapella by talented performers at the Asolo Theater stage—it’s as if time itself pauses allowing us all glimpse into what might have been during such harrowing times; human connection transcending barriers imposed by conflict or nationality.
As you immerse yourself into these heartfelt stories portrayed onstage—complete with vivid imagery evoking emotions ranging from sorrowful longing mixed joyous celebration—you’ll find yourself pondering deeper questions about humanity’s innate capacity for kindness even amidst greatest challenges imaginable while reflecting upon own relationships within broader context global society today; ultimately inspired towards acts compassion empathy others around us regardless differences may face daily lives together here now!
