Peter Boyer’s oratorio A Hundred Years On, commemorating the centenary of the 1876 World’s Fair, softens the blow of jingoism, looking to an earlier era of hope and broken promise.

An emotional work, structured like a strident television documentary tailored to a young audience.

Director and star Johnathan McCullough gives a riveting performance as a young man scarred by his experiences on the battlefield.

Présenté en création française dans le cadre du Festival Radio France Occitanie Montpellier, l'opéra de Venables et Huffman déçoit par son aspect répétitif et peu lyrique.
