Get your tickets to see Florida Grand Opera: Silent Night in Ft Lauderdale, FL. Happening on Thursday, December 4, 2025 at Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center. Doors open at 7:30 PM.

War and music may seem like opposites, but in Silent Night, they collide in the most extraordinary way. Composer Kevin Puts and librettist Mark Campbell’s Pulitzer Prize-winning opera brings to life the true story of a spontaneous ceasefire on Christmas Eve during World War I-when soldiers on opposite sides of the battlefield found humanity in each other through song. Based on the 2005 film Joyeux Noël, this powerful opera transports us to the trenches of 1914, where Scottish, French, and German soldiers are caught in the brutality of war. But on one remarkable night, their weapons fall silent. Moved by the voice of a German opera singer conscripted into battle, they step out of their trenches to share songs, stories, and even a game of soccer. It’s a fleeting moment of peace-one that defies orders, risks everything, and reminds us of the profound power of music to unite us, even in our darkest hours. Multilingual, with English and Spanish projected translations
