As Christmas 1914 approached, opposing armies famously put their differences aside and shared common celebrations.
Minnesota Opera's international sensation makes its homecoming just in time for the holidays. Listen to its 2018 production of the story of a miraculous moment of holiday peace on the frontlines of World War I.
