Powerful and preeminently useful,

The opera’s three scenes look in on a series of online conference calls by six medics from Chicago, Seoul, Rio de Janeiro, Lombardy, New York City, and a Syrian refugee camp near Beirut as they each struggle with the unfolding pandemic. During these calls, they provide a lifeline to each other, and ultimately discover kindness and compassion can be as powerful as a tool as a vaccine and a ventilator. “On Call” is drawn from 200 articles about global healthcare workers facing the COVID-19 pandemic. Each cast member has chosen their own character’s name to honor either a healthcare worker or someone who has died from COVID.
