Gian Carlo Menotti’s Pulitzer Prize winning opera explores the struggle of migrants and refugees as they try to navigate immigration processes that are often impersonal and dehumanizing.

All ticket proceeds will go to support the critical work of
Juntos and New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia.

What will your papers do?... They are too thin an armor against a bullet.
