In this new opera by two-time Tony Award®-winning composer Jeanine Tesori, hot-shot fighter pilot Jess finds herself unexpectedly pregnant. Taken out of the cockpit, she is assigned to fly a drone and struggles with the pressure to be the perfect soldier, wife, and mother. Based on the play by George Brant, the work also explores the emotional toll that “safe” technology can take on servicepersons.
